A Briançonnais couple pocketed a million euros after playing Euromillions on June 3. La Française des Jeux (FDJ) announced it via a press release on June 20. “This is the first record win in the game since the start of the year in the Hautes-Alpes”, indicates the gambling group. The winning ticket was validated at the “Le Havane” tobacconist, place de l’Europe.
“This player likes to allow himself a few games to titillate ‘luck’. That day, he played two flash grids at Euromillions. The day after the draw, he looks at the results and discovers that his My Million code has been drawn. He wins the jackpot of 1 million euros. Neither one nor two, he climbs the stairs four by four, shouting at the top of his voice: “Honey, I have something to show you!”, Says the FDJ.
The couple confided to the group that they had remained “incredulous for several minutes by comparing the codes more than once”. “This gain will allow us to turn a page and start a new chapter in our lives,” added the people of Briançon, who want to live in the sun and buy a house.
