A sixty-year-old wins more than €116,000 at PMU, tries his luck again and wins again

A bettor won €116,361 by playing PMU in a tobacco bar in Limay (Yvelines), on November 16, 2024. The man aged around sixty had completed a Quinté + grid, reports 78 Actu .

The sixty-year-old, whose identity has not been revealed, is a regular player and a regular at the establishment to which he goes every day, according to his manager. According to our colleagues, the lucky winner would be a horse racing betting expert, described as a real “connoisseur” by the manager.

Several wins won

The man would have already won several winnings before, but of lesser value. Furthermore, the large sum he won would not have prevented him from trying his luck again later. This Thursday, he would still have “won €170” with a stake of €12, according to a bar employee, cited by 78 Actu. When he learned, on November 17, that he had won more than €100,000, “he appeared calm. […] He just wanted to know if we could pay him by transfer”added the manager.

As the winnings exceed €30,000, it should be given to him by check. The man became the 194th person in France and the third in Yvelines to receive a sum greater than €100,000 from the PMU in 2024, notes the information site.
