Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A mystery Spanish lottery player who bought a ticket that won €4.7 million (£3.9 million) in a local draw accidentally left it in the shop.
Now the town of Coruna is searching for the winner after the ticket for June 30, 2012 was found and handed in to authorities.
The town hall website posted notice of the ticket among the city's lost-and-found items along with phones, keys and wallets.
Mayor Carlos Negreira joked he would be the first mayor to search for a millionaire "not to ask for money but to give it."
He said there would be rigorous checks on the authenticity of any ownership claims. If the original purchaser is not found the money will go to the ticket finder.
