It is a draw that will make a milestone: never before has a player won such a large sum. The 210 million euros involved in the Euromillion draw were finally won in Switzerland. The winner found the winning combination, the five digits 6-12-22-29-33 and the two stars 6 and 11.
It becomes so the player who won the biggest prize in the history of the European lottery. The jackpot could also have fallen in France, Austria, Belgium, Spain, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal or the United Kingdom.
The record was until now held by a French. On December 11, barely two months ago, he won 200 million euros thanks to a change in the rules of the lottery which dates from February 2020.
The third will have been the right one
This is the third time that the sum of 210 million euros has been put into play by the Française des Jeux. Indeed, when nobody finds the five correct numbers and the two stars, the sum is put back into play during four consecutive drawings, then if necessary increased by 10 million euros. And so on until 250 million euros, maximum ceiling.
According to estimates by La Française des Jeux, players have about One in 139 million chance of hitting the jackpot.
