A retiree, who wishes to remain anonymous, pocketed the jackpot of 13 million euros offered to the winner of the Halloween Super Loto at the beginning of November.
Life sometimes has surprises in store. But maybe not as special as the one this retiree had at 3:37 a.m. while looking at her phone. Thursday October 31, 2024, after playing a Halloween Super Loto grid online, she checks her emails and discovers with amazement a message from the FDJ informing her of a win. And not a small one: 13 million euros, which also falls on his daughter's birthday.
“I had to wait until the morning to call him. During the rest of the night, I kept repeating to myself: 'It's not possible, it's not possible'. Once in the morning, I was finally able to call him. call: “Honey, we won the Lotto! Happy birthday!”, she told the FDJ, which released a press release.
“It’s funny because I played a flash grid. When I discovered the numbers chosen at random, I said to myself: they are ridiculous! Now, I love them,” she laughs.
The “magic” combination has no number above 20: 3, 9, 15, 18, 19 and the lucky number: 9.
First pleasure: shopping at the supermarket
She tells the FDJ that her first pleasure was quite simple, but not so much since the context of inflation that we have been experiencing for several years: shopping without looking at the prices.
“What a joy to be able to treat yourself without constraint,” she relishes, before thinking a little bigger for the future with this substantial check. She plans to buy a new house, a car and above all spoil her daughter.
