On May 6, the EuroMillions involved 195 million euros. With the release of the numbers 3, 8, 18, 24 and 40 as well as the two stars 3 and 11, unfortunately no one had found the winning combination. They were however five in Europe, including one in France, to find six of the seven figures. On the other hand, as reported Draw-Win, it is a Frenchman who became a millionaire thanks to the game My Million with the code UZ 615 4334. This winner, who was located in Haute-Saône in Roye, won the sum of one million euros. A new French millionaire then.
A result all the more rare, specifies Tirage-Gagnant, that another Frenchman residing in the department has already become a millionaire on March 29 with also a winning grid of one million euros. Above all, what is surprising in this story is the discovery of the prize and how the man hid his ticket. Indeed, according to our colleagues from the press specializing in games, the man was at the restaurant. As he testified, he was having a good time and thinking to himself that “life is already beautiful”, but “[qu’]it could become more so”.
A box of VHS
The man will then look at the FDJ application as he usually does, despite the fact that he left his ticket at home. She will quickly tell him that he has become a millionaire. Neither one nor two, the winner has the reflex to call his mother so that she gets the ticket and puts it in a safe place. As Tirage-Gagnant specifies, he will then ask him to put it in a VHS box of family memories. He will have stayed there long enough for this player from Haute-Saône to recover his due. In September 2020, a winner of the Heritage Loto, who had received the sum of ten million euros, had already shown ingenuity to hide her ticket. She had decided to place it under the carpet, while taking precautions: “I had shaken the carpet before hiding it under, I did not want to have to vacuum again and damage the ticket”, she confessed. It must be said that it would have been stupid to miss such a sum!
