On December 28, Press regulars from the Lamballe-Armor chalet, in Brittany, bought scratch games, as usual. “They come two to three times a week, take a few €5 games and leave,” explains the manager to West France.
A few hours after their purchase, they come back to see the manager and say: “We won, it’s a big prize!” After verification, regulars won 600,000 euros thanks to a “Maxi Black Jack” scratch game worth 5 euros.
Only two tickets for 600,000 euros
The store manager then secretly gives them a ticket with a telephone number listed in order to contact Française des jeux (FDJ). This is the first time that the owner of the establishment has seen such an amount.
Maxi Black Jack ticket sales have increased. “If we read carefully on the back of the scratch ticket, we see that there are only two at 600,000 euros out of the 9 million printed,” she explains.
