While some are struggling every week to force luck, a Frenchwoman who plays only occasionally won a million euros in the Euromillions, when she thought she had played the Loto.
It’s quite a stroke of luck and chance of the calendar, this one took place during the draw of Friday, January 13th. A young woman, convinced of having played the Loto, had in fact filled out a Euromillions grid and was selected in the draw, thus winning one million euros.
The specialized site Winning Draw reports the story of this serendipity for this occasional player on February 16. And if some play every week, she explains that she is only an occasional player, trying her luck “3 to 4 times a year, only during big prize pools and exceptional events”.
“At the time I thought it was a mistake”
The Friday 13 jackpot was one of the opportunities to seize for the player, who therefore connects to her FDJ account, with the idea of trying her luck at the Super Loto. The next day, the FDJ informs her by email that she has won the Euromillion… without revealing the sum.
“At the time, I thought of a mistake, I played for the Loto”, explains the young woman to the specialized site. But after checking, she realizes that she had played the Euromillions by mistake and that it was her My Million code that had been drawn, making her a millionaire.
“I still don’t realize that I have become a millionaire thanks to my mistake”, confides the winner, a passionate skier who could well use this handsome sum to afford accommodation in the mountains.
