A family from Haute-Garonne won one million euros in a My Million draw in Laroix-Falgarde on July 16, 2021.
“We are a very lucky agency” declares Ana de Freitas, sales representative for La Française des Jeux and referent for Haute-Garonne. After a My Million winner in Colomiers on May 14, 2021, it was in Lacroix-Falgarde, at the La Plume d’Or point of sale, managed by David Barathieu-Loubet, that a new big gain was recorded. On July 16, 2021, a My Million code allowed a family from Haute-Garonne to win one million euros. “The winner has two months to make himself known and withdraw his prize,” explains Ana de Freitas.
According to Nicolas Robineau, co-manager of the site Tirage-Gagnant.com, the player showed up about a week after the July 16 draw results were announced. He adds: “When the winner declares himself to the FDJ, the procedure lasts between 5 to 10 days before receipt of payment”. An exclusively French game set up in 2014, My million is a raffle that guarantees a winner in each draw on Tuesday and Friday evenings. “The goal in terms of communication was to ensure a millionaire with each draw,” explains Nicolas Robineau.
A trip and donations to associations
According to the referent sales representative of the FDJ, it is a whole family accustomed to playing Euromillion for several years which gained the gain. “The person who was in possession of the winning ticket informed us that in addition to traveling, she would pay part of the profit to associations” she indicates. However, for security reasons, the winner retains his anonymity. Following such a gain, the winner is offered a follow-up as well as a support process by the FDJ. “This allows him for 2 to 3 years to follow workshops given by psychologists on money management, by asset managers to show him how to invest his earnings properly or by experts in social relations” underlines Nicolas Robineau . According to him, more than 21 million grids have been played in Europe for the draw on July 16. The French grids represent 3 to 4 million of these grids played. “Winning is also allowing yourself to dream and we wish them to make their dreams come true” concludes Ana de Freitas.
