Two days left for unclaimed €1 million lottery winner in south-east France

French lottery officials have launched an appeal to find a EuroMillions winner before they lose the chance to claim their €1 million winnings.

The deadline is this Friday January 31 at 23:59.

The winner validated their ‘EuroMillions - My Millions’ ticket in the Alpes-Maritimes department for the draw on December 3, 2024. 

The ticket had the winning code: AE 196 0600.

If you think you may be the winner, check your ticket either in person or online through the French lottery manager FDJ website. 

Winners can contact the company by calling 09 69 36 60 601 to be put through to the ‘Accompagnement and Expérience Gagnants’ service, which helps hand out winnings to ticket holders.

A similar situation occurred in the Haute-Savoie department last October, with the FDJ searching for a ticket holder who had also not claimed their €1 million winnings.
