EuroMillions: a winner supposed to pocket a million euros has only 5 days left to show up

by time news

“Only 5 days left! FDJ is looking, until Monday January 30 at 11:59 p.m., for the player who validated his EuroMillions game receipt in Charente (16) for the draw on Friday December 2 and who won one million euros in the My Million draw. It is a search notice like no other that the FDJ published on its Facebook account on Wednesday. One of its winners is missing and therefore only has until next Monday to recover the tidy sum of 1 million euros.

This unknowing winner therefore validated his “golden ticket” on December 2nd. The problem is that the FDJ only grants a period of 60 days maximum to come and recover its gain. Ultimatum next Monday for this winner from Charente. However, the gaming company specified the MyMillion code for the winning ticket: HR 390 6385. Hoping that it didn’t go through the washing machine deep in a jeans pocket…

As highlighted by BFMTV, the winner will be… The State from Tuesday, January 31! And this in application of a law of 2019 which now prevents La Française des jeux from recovering most of the unclaimed winnings to reinject them into its kitties. A device that allows the State to reap several million euros per year. The company now only keeps Tier 1 earnings (from 7.5 million euros).
