162 289 050 euros. No, there is no mistake. This is the amount of the Euromillions jackpot won by an inhabitant of south-eastern France at the end of November. It is the fifth biggest win of the history of the Française Des Jeux (FDJ).

“My wife didn’t believe me”

The thirty-something wanted to preserve his anonymity. He still confided in the FDJ when he came to collect his earnings in Paris. “I don’t play for small amounts but only when it comes to big jackpots! “, did he declare. He recalled playing at the last moment on the Internet: “It was 7:58 pm; I had to try my luck “… While the bets closed at 8:15 p.m.

The next day, when he received the email from the FDJ, he believed he had received the My Million code winning 1 million euros. Little did he know that his life was going to change completely. “My wife did not believe me,” he laughed at the time of payment by the FDJ.

Buy a house and sell your own beer

What is he going to do with all this money? His priority is to buy a house and realize his dream of becoming a brewer by marketing his own beer. He also wants to go elsewhere, to discover countries abroad. He confided to the winning relations department of the FDJ that he liked the great outdoors and that Ireland will be his first destination. New Zealand and the crossing of the United States are also on his new millionaire program.
