€132m won on Euromillions

A RESIDENT of Seine-et-Marne has won €132million in the Euromillions lottery.

La Française des Jeux, which runs the lottery in France, has confirmed the win – which has yet to be claimed and which represents the third largest jackpot won in France and the fifth largest prize in the game.

The largest wins in France were €169million and €162million, in 2012 and 2011.

The marketing director of FDJ Cécile Lagé said the French appear to be especially lucky – more than a quarter of big winning tickets (78) having been bought in France, including three out of the five biggest wins.

The winner has 60 days to claim the prize.
