Euromillions: what we know about the winner of the biggest jackpot of the year in France who won 109 million euros

This is the biggest jackpot won in France since the start of the year. Last Friday, September 1, a person residing in France had won 109 million euros in the Euromillions draw. But no information had leaked as to the identity of the winner.

Biggest jackpot in the history of Brittany

This Tuesday, September 19, our colleagues from Winning Draw reveal that it is a winner from Brittany. She “came forward to the FDJ in the days following the draw and should receive her winnings next week,” explains Tirage-Gagnant. For now, we still do not know where she validated her ticket.

The lucky lady was able to find the right combination among the 139 million possible. This is the biggest jackpot won in Brittany. The previous record was 39 million euros in 2007 in Vern-sur-Seiche (Ille-et-Vilaine).

Three successes in France

Initially, the sum at stake was 106 million euros, but the final prize pool stood at more than 109 million euros. To achieve success, the winner checked the numbers 35, 3, 37, 5, 4 and the stars 5 and 6.

Since the start of the year, this is the third time that a fellow French citizen has won the Euromillions. Last February, a Sarthe couple won 102 million euros, recalls BFMTV. Three months later, in May, a Martinican won 53 million euros.
