He was not yet a millionaire when The Balloon Girl, a painting by British street artist Bansky, was auctioned for more than 21 million euros on Friday. But the winner of EuroMillions can console himself: with his jackpot, he could afford The port of La Rochelle, a painting by Paul Signac exhibited at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Nancy.
Like Bansky’s work, the story of Signac’s painting is absolutely rockabilly. This one had been stolen from the museum in the middle of the day in May 2018, and found by chance in Ukraine almost a year later ! Before the flight, the canvas was estimated at 1,5 million d’euros. Even if his misadventures could inflate his rating, its value should remain accessible for the winner of EuroMillions.

It’s hard not to think of football when you talk about such large sums. If the winner of the 220 million euros was Lorrain and a fan of FC Metz, he could offer a big boost to the club, currently 18th in Ligue 1.
Why not in fact, during the next transfer window, bring back the best players from the club and aim for the Champions League? The attacker’s rating healthy mane (at FC Metz in 2011-2012) on the transfer market is currently estimated at 85 million euros *.
In the middle of the field, the former Messin Miralem Pjanic (2004-2008) which then shone in Italy (AS Roma, Juventus) and Spain (FC Barcelona) would still be worth 18 million euros*… A trifle. As for the defense, why not strengthen it with the return of Kalidou Koulibaly, native of Saint-Dié-des-Vosges and passed by FC Metz between 2009 and 2012. Estimated cost of the transfer: 48 million euros. Our winner would then have nearly 70 million left to negotiate their salaries with the players!

A EuroMillions winner supporter ofAS Nancy Lorraine could buy him back … the club! According to our information, it was sold on December 31 for a sum, far below the 13 or 14 million euros which were originally mentioned.

The neo-multimillionaire could easily buy the Grand Nancy Thermal construction site… and make this complex his own, which is scheduled to open on the horizon. The total cost of the project is in fact estimated at a little over 97 million euros. Hardly enough to strip the buyer’s wallet.
–
If the lucky winner was passionate about cars, he could afford to buy “local” by offering himself up to… 3697 Ineos Grenadier 4×4 models ! The production of these new all-terrain vehicles is to take place in the new Ineos Automotive plant in Hambach (Moselle). To drive them, our lucky one will have to wait: the marketing of these 4x4s will not begin until 2022.

With such a sum in hand, beware of excess gluttony! The winner of the 220 million could convert his loot into bergamot from Nancy… But a truck will be necessary for the delivery! About 6 tons of Lorraine confectionery could be acquired with full earnings.
–
The gesture would undoubtedly be unanimous among the inhabitants of the region! If the lucky winner decided to share his loot with all the residents of Lorraine (Moselle, Meurthe-et-Moselle, Vosges), he could sign each of them a check of around 95 €… And thus offer the sympathy of 2.31 million inhabitants!
