EuroMillions: “It’s the 5th time” that it happens in 2023, he loses a million euros after waiting 60 days to withdraw his winnings

Know this: if you win atEuroMillions or to Heartyou have 60 days from the draw date to claim your winnings. Not another day.

A deadline that this winner who validated his ticket on Reunion Island on October 3 clearly did not know. Or maybe he didn’t realize that he had indeed won €1 million.

Indeed, each EuroMillions grid rewards the player with a code to participate in a secondary lottery called My Million. The principle is simple: if your code is drawn, you win 1 million euros.

This October 3, the code MV 249 2574 was drawn. A code corresponding to a ticket validated on the Reunion Island. However, the winnings were never claimed and after a two-month delay, the million euros returned to Française des jeux.

This is the 5th time that a MyMillion code drawn at random has not been claimed this year, assure the specialists of Tirage-Gagnant.com. A scenario that occurs more frequently with “small amounts” or “tickets forgotten at the bottom of a coat or pants”.
