This Tuesday, March 7, 2023, a Belgian player pocketed the EuroMillions jackpot. He will shortly receive €144,966,361 in his bank account.
Something to delight his banker and propel the lucky winner directly into the ranking of the biggest fortunes in Belgium. And remember that the State will not receive a euro of this jackpot: the winnings won at the games of the National Lottery are all tax exempt.
Two million more…
144 million is two million more than the last jackpot won by a Belgian. On December 6, 2022, the astronomical sum of €142,897,164 was won… by 165 compatriots. These players had each paid €15 to take part in the jackpot offered by the De Pershoek bookshop in Olmen (province of Antwerp).
Finally, if we are to believe the communications of the National Lottery, the EuroMillions jackpot has already fallen 35 times in our country since the launch of the famous game in 2004. The biggest gain ever recorded in Belgium dates from 2016. The he lucky winner then won… 165 million euros.
