On March 20, a player confined to his home tried his luck at EuroMillions and bingo! He won the sum of 17 million euros. After the joy begins an interminable wait, explains the newspaper Le Parisien. Health rules prohibit non-essential travel and force him to wait 50 days before receiving the money.

The player who had validated his ticket in a village in the Côtes-d’Armor could not go to the headquarters of La Française des Jeux in the Hauts-de-Seine, located more than 100 kilometers from his home. The player then decided to keep his winning ticket close to him, in the shell of his phone.

After long days during which the Frenchman did not take his eyes off his smartphone, he finally received his share.

What will he do with his millions? He has already bought “a nice car” and explains that he wants to take care of his health. “I will take care of myself, get a new life because I have always worked a lot,” announced the victorious player.
