According to Française des jeux, the winning grid was played in France this Tuesday, April 30.
In the country, there is one who should sleep well tonight. According to Française des jeux (FDJ), a jackpot of 166,790,050 million euros was just won this Tuesday, April 30 in France during the EuroMillions draw. To win this amount, you had to check the following five numbers on the grid: 13-22-24-33-47 and the two stars, 5-1.
In total, eight European players, including another in France, had the five correct numbers to enter but only one star checked. They therefore pocket the sum of 114,649 euros. Thirteen other grids, including three registered in France, also obtain 16,489 euros thanks to the five correct numbers entered but without the winning stars.
60 days to collect the winnings
If the amount won this evening in France is already staggering, it is not the highest jackpot won with EuroMillions. For example, a historic jackpot was won in 2022 in the United Kingdom. The person had pocketed the sum of 230 million euros.
For his part, the big winner of Tuesday April 30 now has around sixty days to report to the Française des jeux and pocket his winnings. If forgotten, it will be put back into play during a next drawing.
