It is in Saint-Priest that this beautiful story takes place, and more precisely, at the PMU Bar located on avenue de la gare. An occasional player, who likes to “take a break with one or two scratch tickets”, as reported by La Française des jeux this Monday, buys a Cash ticket and another X20 ticket that day. If the first turns out to be a loser, the disappointment is short-lived. Because with the second ticket, it’s the jackpot: the player wins a prize of 500,000 euros!
What to do with this amount?
Despite the surprise, the winner kept a cool head: “I masked my emotions so as not to draw attention to myself,” he confided, smiling, to La Française des jeux. Does the player have an idea of how he will use the amount won? According to the FDJ press release, the man plans to buy a property. And with the remaining money, he gives himself time to think.
Even if this gain can make you dream, it remains modest compared to the record for the biggest gain won in the department. Indeed, on January 15, 2010, a player from L’Arbresle won 30 million euros playing EuroMillions.
