One lucky person, millions of disappointed people and one question. This Tuesday, November 26, 2024, the EuroMillions jackpot was won. Not by a Frenchman (four came close to winning it), but a player wins the modest sum of 212 million euros.

A gain which is higher than that announced before the draw by Française des jeux, namely 208 million euros. A mystery that is actually not one.
