The Earth shook in the department this week, but for two Belfort residents, it was a real earthquake that shook their destiny! They have just won 500,000 euros the same week by playing scratch games from Française des jeux. Payment was made on June 18 for the first, June 21 for the second. For the latter, an immense joy since the couple will finally be able to get married! Their testimony was collected in Paris, where the FDJ can be directly contacted by the winners. The information came to us through the regional office, which manages both Alsace and the Territoire de Belfort.
The lucky coin
Superstitious, the first winner, a customer of Real’Bar, rue Salengro in Belfort, always uses the same room for her scratch games. This coin bears his year of birth. “I feel like it brings me luck,” she says. Indeed: she has just won 500,000 euros at the Golden Ticket and will pass it on to her loved ones.
“The wheel is finally turning”
The second winner played at Kennedy, Place Schuman in Belfort. He has his habits: on Saturday mornings, he drives his daughter to her sports activity, and plays a grid for each Loto, Euromillions, Eurodreams draw for the week. He completes it with a Cash and Mots croisés. It was a good move for him: he wins 500,000 euros at Cash. “I wait until I get home to scratch the tickets with my partner,” he tells the FDJ. “When the winning number 8 appears, it’s astonishing!” he says. “The wheel is finally turning for us.” The winnings will allow them to pay off their loans, buy a car, travel… and get married!
