During the 2023 Easter Loto, an Ornois won the tidy sum of 18 million euros after playing the same numbers for ten years.
“ Everything comes at the right time to who knows how to wait ”. This expression sums up very well the story of this inhabitant of the Orne.
After getting into the habit of playing the same Loto numbers for ten years, the latter finally won the exceptional sum of 18 million euros, during the Easter jackpot on April 26, reports the Française des Jeux.
As our colleagues from Parisian point out, the lucky winner validated his grid in a shopping center located in Argentan. As usual, the bettor hastened to tick the following combination: 3, 11, 14, 18, 24 and lucky number 10.
Without real surprise, the winner was in shock when he realized he had won the jackpot: ” On the night of the draw, he looks at the results on his mobile application and immediately recognizes his lucky numbers, which correspond to dates dear to his heart , ”explains the FDJ in a press release.
Faced with this situation, he did not hesitate to wake up his wife by shouting to her: “ I think we are millionaires! “. At first glance, the latter was convinced that her husband was playing a joke on her. She grabbed the phone to check: “ We’re usually pretty unlucky; it’s life that gives it back to us , ”confided the bettor.
” This amount of 18 million euros follows the Easter jackpot, put into play at 10 million euros and which had not found a taker since Saturday April 8 ,” said the FDJ.
Craftsman on his own, the Ornois wants to slow down his pace of work. He also plans to buy a house in the region and afford a car. But that’s not all ! He will travel with his family.
