EUROMILLIONS – “When the money falls from the sky, something has to be done with it and help those who are not so lucky. Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense ”. This Tuesday, December 22, the historic winner of EuroMillions announced in a press release from La Française des Jeux (FDJ) that he wanted to create his own foundation and inject several tens of millions into it. This occasional player was the only one to find the 5 good numbers (6, 9, 13, 24, 41) and the 2 good stars (3, 12), thus becoming on Friday 11 December, the 400th fortune of France. “If I manage to make my Foundation live and grow, then I will have won everything”, launched last week, the one who wishes to remain anonymous. “It is a great pleasure to hand over this historic sum of 200 million d ‘euros ”, declared for his part the CEO of the FDJ group, Stéphane Pallez, when she handed over the historic sum of 200 million euros to the lucky one. “I am particularly moved to know that this great winner wishes to share by investing in charitable projects,” she added.

Usually he played at a point of sale. The winner tries his luck only in exceptional jackpots, with the idea of helping those in need if he wins.

He learned that he had won the day after the draw, on Saturday December 12, by checking his results on his app. . While he was “still struggling to believe it” according to the FDJ, it was only after having exchanged with the FDJ Winners Relations department, which confirmed his gain, that he “began to realize”.
