The gain almost passed under his nose. At the end of the draw carried out on June 30, 2023 by Française des jeux (FDJ), a French person had the chance to win one million euros thanks to the EuroMillions-My Million game of chance. Problem: he had not appeared since the announcement of the result. Tuesday September 5, 2023, five days before the deadline, the company launched a call for witnesses on his Facebook page. “It is unknown why the winner did not come forward to claim the prize”reacted the FDJ in The Parisian. The winner was finally announced two days later, Thursday September 7, 2023, by calling directly to the head office and not through the tobacco shop or the number reserved for the big winners. “He called us directly this morning. Needless to say, he was happy! At least the money won’t be put back into play!”indicates the group to our colleagues.
The game of chance finally smiled on him
The player, whose identity we do not know, is therefore preparing to collect his winnings soon. But we won’t know more. The group’s policy favors the anonymity and privacy of its many winners for security reasons. Only the location of the winning ticket could be revealed. It was a tobacco shop in eastern Paris that issued the famous code. The Frenchman had validated a losing grid. However, his My Million code, associated with each ticket, was indeed a winner. “Seeing that his EuroMillions ticket was a loser, he may not have thought to check the code that was associated,” assumed the FDJ with Parisian. Indeed, each EuroMillions ticket has a special code submitted to a giant raffle across the whole of France. Drawn at random, the unfortunate loser of the grid finally saw his luck change. A second chance that the lucky person almost missed. Other players, less careful (or less lucky) have already let the million slip through their fingers. In April 2023, a resident of Hauts-de-Seine also won the million but never came forward. His winnings had since been put back into play.
