His life has just been turned upside down. A resident of Côtes-d’Armor won the jackpot on EuroDreams, a new drawing game from Française des jeux (FDJ), winning 20,000 euros or 7.2 million euros per month for 30 years. All for an initial bet of 2.50 euros.
This is the first time that this EuroMillions regular tried his luck, on Monday 8 January, on the advice of a tobacco bar retailer. “It was an excellent recommendation,” he quipped to our colleagues in Ouest-France. Then he decided to make a “flash grid,” that is, to let chance pick his numbers.
The machine then gave him the numbers 13, 19, 25, 26, 33, 40 and the number Dream 1, the winning combination. After telling his wife that they would “never have money problems again,” the Costa Rican quickly informed his bank advisor that “there should be a good amount of money coming into (his) account every month for several years” and so we shouldn’t. to be surprised
Direction Tahiti but no resignation
The forty-year-old from a working-class background, who wishes to remain anonymous, affirms that he does not want to leave his job, as he is “very attached to the value of work”. He plans to use the money to pay off his car loan, his mortgage, and help those around him. With this money, he also plans to fulfill his dream by traveling to Tahiti.
In less than three months of existence, Eurodreams has already offered the jackpot to three French people: one from Tarn, another from Ardeche and so another from Côtes d’Armor.
