a winner in France wins 77 million euros, 6th French multimillionaire in 2024

Results of the Euromillions draw for this Tuesday, December 17, 2024

There are more than 21 million grids (21,005,687 simple grids very precisely) which were played across Europe this Tuesday evening for more than 1.8 million winning grids.

To win the jackpot in today’s draw, you had to have checked the numbers 1,3,4,21, 29 as well as the stars 2 and 7 on your grid. There was only one chance in 139 million that a player would manage to find the winning combination and it is once again in France that luck has decided to take up residence.

In addition to this new multimillionaire, another lucky one in Europe was able to find the 5 correct numbers as well as one of the two lucky stars, winning more than €600,000. If we now look at the My Million winning code, it was a player from the Hauts de France region who won the guaranteed million euros, a very beautiful evening on December 17 which looks like a foretaste of Christmas .

Still unknown, this new winner has 60 days to make himself known

It is impossible at the time of writing these lines to know if the winner is – or not – aware of his new wealth. One thing is certain now, he has 60 days to contact Française des jeux and the “Grands Gagnants” service in order to receive his winnings. In the extreme case where no player comes to claim this jackpot of 77 million euros, the sum will then be included in the “pot fund” of the European lottery with a view to being put back into play during a next Euromillions mega jackpot. .

Obviously, these unclaimed winnings of such a large amount are extremely rare and we very much hope that this new winner goes to his FDJ payment center closest to home or directly in Boulogne-Billancourt, at the Française des jeux headquarters to collect your prize pool.

This new multimillionaire will be offered special support for the big winners for a period of 5 years allowing him to attend financial management workshops, relationship management or even meet psychologists to help him understand this new life that opens up to him.

This is already the 6th time in 2024 that a French player has managed to win the jackpot, a golden year for the French!
