– EuroMillions: a Frenchman hits the jackpot! Discover the details of the draw

In 2024, he will be the 6th major French winner at EuroMillions. The lucky one won the sum of 77,557,137 euros, reports the site Tirage-gagnant.com, on December 18, 2024. Indeed, he was the only one to find the five correct numbers (1, 3, 4, 21 and 29) and the two stars (2 and 7) throughout Europe. He therefore wins the prize pool at stake, without having to share it. Of the 21 million grids played, more than 1.8 million were winning.

By winning the jackpot of nearly 77 million euros, today’s winner has become the sixth major French winner since the start of 2024. On April 30, another player won the prize by gleaning the 166 million euros put into play by the FDJ. The very first big French winner arrived quickly in 2024, since on January 16, a French player won nearly 88 million euros. The following month, on February 20, another lucky Ollioules resident won 73,778,160 euros. Finally, note that near the half of the big winners of EuroMillions in 2024 are French.
