If your Euromillions ticket was a winner, wouldn't the first thing you would do be to contact the Française des Jeux (FDJ) to collect the jackpot? This is not what a happy Haut-Savoyard who won a million euros did, as reported by our colleagues from France Bleu Haute-Savoie.
The latter participated in the draw on September 3, and has still not contacted the FDJ. However, he has until Friday, November 1, at 11:59 p.m., to do so.
Two months to collect a winning ticket
He can go to a point of sale with his grid and receipt or “ call FDJ customer service on 09 69 36 60 60 (non-premium rate number), which will put you in contact with the Support and Winners Experience teams »writes the FDJ in a relayed press release. The winning My Million code is MS 437 2213.
As the Winning Draw site points out, it is common for winners not to pocket their winnings. This happened six times in 2023. In the event of a winning ticket in a lottery, the owner has two months to withdraw the winnings. If he does not do so, the sum returns to the FDJ.
