During this year 2025, one lucky person will receive €300 every month, which she will be able to spend in the shops of Douai. She declares that she is living a “real Christmas story”.
A 64-year-old Douaisian is the big winner of the Chalet de l’Avent, the competition organized by the Union of Commerce and Artisans Douaisiens, in collaboration with the municipality, from December 1st to 22nd. Thus, throughout this year 2025, €300 will be paid to him every month. A sum that she can only spend in the city’s businesses.
A real Christmas story in Douai
In total, it is therefore the tidy sum of €3,600 which will enhance his daily life and that of his loved ones. For a few days now, the lucky lady has been renewing her wardrobe and declaring that she lives “a true Christmas story”. But she also remains reasonable, in terms of education, and she didn’t win the lottery either!
Good intuition
The person concerned had left a bulletin in the Advent chalet on December 19. On the day of the jackpot draw, Sunday December 22 at 4 p.m. rue de Bellain, Madame hesitated to leave her house, then finally decided at the last moment. A good intuition, because only people present at the time of the drawing could win the prize. Two other lucky winners won the second and third prizes, namely €200 and €100 per month for 1 year.
