EuroMillions: the jackpot of 240 million euros, the biggest win in the history of the game, won this Friday

The absolute record has fallen. The jackpot of 240 million euros, the biggest win in the history of EuroMillions, was won this Friday, says Française des jeux (FDJ). The winner has not validated his grid in France, according to our information. The correct numbers were 17, 30, 42, 48, 50 and the stars were 4 and 8.

So far, the biggest win in the history of EuroMillions, amounting to 230 million euros, was won in July 2022 in the United Kingdom. No details on the profile of the winner had been communicated.

A record of 220 million in France

The largest sum ever won in France is 220 million euros. It was won by a Tahitian woman in October 2021. This woman, who was playing for the first time in her life, had let chance choose the numbers via the “flash” system, which dials in place of the player.

But EuroMillions doesn’t just make people happy. On October 3, a Reunion Islander won a million euros at EuroMillions. But the player never claimed his ticket and, despite search notices issued by Française des jeux to local media, he was never found. He therefore lost his gain.
