A couple won the Grand Christmas Lotto without playing their favorite numbers, preferring to play via the internet with the “flash option”.
A resounding entry into the top 5 of biggest winnings while playing on the internet. A couple won 20 million euros in the Christmas Grand Loto without playing their favorite numbers.
It all starts when the husband decides to play at the last moment when he sees the potential gain of 20 million. He connects to the fdj.fr website and selects the flash option which validates a grid with random numbers. He doesn’t know it yet, but this chance will change his life.
The rest looks like a Christmas movie: “On Christmas morning, while checking my emails, I discovered that I had won the jackpot. I was stunned,” he tells the FDJ in a press release.
“I walked around the house, unable to realize it. I ended up waking up my wife to tell her the news. She didn’t believe it. We spent the whole day watching the drawing show with Jean -Pierre Foucault, to verify that the numbers matched. We still find it hard to believe it,” he adds.

“One of the rare times I saw him cry”
“It’s one of the rare times I saw him cry. I have the impression that it’s all unreal,” says his emotional wife.
Especially since this is not the first time that someone has won the jackpot in the family: “My father had already won the jackpot when I was a child, but the amount was smaller and he had played with his colleagues . He had won around 50,000 euros Since then, I wanted to try my luck too,” recalls the husband.
From now on, the couple wants to use their winnings to travel around the world, buy a new car and please their children.
