A chance at scratching and a chance at scanning your phone screen. New concept. On December 18, a customer at the bar-tabac in Saint-Mathieu, in Haute-Vienne, won the sum of 600,000 euros with one of the latest scratch games, the Maxi Black Jack from La Française des games.
With a purchase of 5 euros and the winnings from the scratch put into play on a mobile application, the player multiplied his stake by 120,000. One chance in 4.5 million, according to Française des Jeux, because only two tickets out of nine million win the jackpot.
-It’s a source of pride for Jean-Pascal, the business manager. The player won before his eyes, and he saw him let himself be overcome by emotion. He says: “He’s a regular player, a young guy, I’m very happy for him, it’s magnificent, he needed the money, I’m super happy!”
Even if the probability of winning remains tiny, the information motivates regulars of the place, like Christian: “Maybe it inspired me, I believe in it anyway.”
