This is the largest sum ever won in the Loto since the game was launched in 1976. One Inhabitant of Ille-et-Vilaine won the trifle of 30 million euros in the draw on Saturday, December 4, reports France Bleu Armorique. This rather varnished player won the bet after 28 consecutive draws without a winner. “In the history of Loto, this is the seventh time that the jackpot has exceeded the symbolic mark of 20 million euros”, according to a press release from the FDJ. The last record dates from September 11 and stood at 26 million euros, “as part of the raffles dedicated to the fourth of the Mission Patrimoine games”.
The winner has played the numbers 5, 18, 23, 34, 44 and 5 as an additional digit. He has not yet made himself known and has 60 days to do so. But the records are even higher with the Euromillions: last October, a player from Polynesia won 220 million euros, a sum never reached in France.
