The postponement of the match between OM and OL will have at least made one person happy. If the attack on the Lyon bus by Marseille supporters deprived 65,000 people of a football match and brought shame to French football, an Olympique de Marseille supporter will long remember this evening as the one that allowed to pocket the sum of 139,135.80 euros, reports Provence.
Like every weekend, this bettor who describes himself as a “Footix” plays a Loto Foot ticket and completes his grid by betting on the fourteen football matches, including the match between the two Olympics, selected by the FDJ .
This bettor named Ange takes six euros out of his pocket and has a premonition – which will ultimately change everything – concerning the match between his favorite team and its rival Lyon. If Lyon is in poor form and had, at that time, still not won a single championship match, it wants to cover its rear.
“Despite their catastrophic dynamic, I didn’t feel the Lyonnais. (…) This is the reason why I tripled the match: Marseille winner, draw and Lyon winner,” he tells our colleagues.
“My amount has tripled”
Once the ticket is validated, the bettor does not even bother to follow the first thirteen matches on which he bet, and when he returns home after the postponement of the match between the two teams, the first good news arrives. The FDJ application tells him that his thirteen (Editor’s note, the fourteenth match having been postponed) results are correct, and that he won 45,455 euros.
On going to the tobacco shop to collect his winnings, Ange gives his ticket to the tobacconist who inserts it into his machine and the latter tells him that he has not won 45,455 euros but 139,135.80 euros. If he believes it to be a bad joke, Ange subsequently learns via the FDJ regulations that when a Loto Foot match is canceled, the result is validated.
“If I had opted for one of the three choices, my gain would have been multiplied by one. Two choices are times two. And since I opted for all three options, my amount tripled! », Explains the happy bettor to the regional daily.
A sum which will allow this man who has “experienced so much hardship”, after losing his job, having health problems and whose wife had cancer, to repay his property loan and finally be able to get married, he thought it was impossible… due to lack of means.
