Easy, when you win 200 million in the European lottery organized by the FDJ, to donate most of his donations, which is more in the protection of our planet. Not really, because since these big wins are distributed, most winners prefer to use this money that falls from the sky to satisfy their new rich desires and those of their loved one. A not so easy gesture, which we could all do, at our level, when we are convinced that the future of our planet, the one where our children will live, belongs to us. And not only to the politicians who govern the country, and who, like most, satisfy their thirst for power before thinking about the community.
« I only played during important jackpots, for one purpose: to devote most of this sum to the creation of a foundation “said the multimillionaire who wishes to remain anonymous, in an open letter published on the website of the foundation he created.
This gain, obtained in December 2020, “ is the second biggest win since the launch in France of Euromillions “, declares the Française des jeux which likes to share anecdotes on the original way in which the winners chose their numbers or pretty stories of winnings which have delighted entire families. If most begin to squander part of their new fortune, despite the advice of the society that manages the gambling, few are those who invest in the common good by investing the bulk of their winnings there.
For this big winner, no sports cars, boats or castles for this big lucky, but rather a foundation dedicated to ” protection and revitalization of forests, preservation and regeneration of biodiversity and support for family caregivers ”, as explained on the site of the endowment fund ofMeat. Admittedly, the latter has carried out work in his house and bought himself a second home, but by making modest changes, because what makes him happy above all is walking in nature or criss-crossing it by bike. .
“It is not uncommon for the winners to be generous, but what is a first is the proportion of the prize paid to a philanthropic cause”.
Obviously an environmentalist at heart, this lucky guy whom the Française des Jeux nicknamed Guy wants to continue to live peacefully, in total discretion, without changing his habits. This large sum did not make him dizzy and on the contrary since he made a dream come true: that of being able to help each of us to live in a better world.
The foundation he launched bears the name of Anyama, a town in Côte d’Ivoire, near Abidjan, where he lived. This endowment fund, which supports actions to protect the environment and biodiversity, has the following slogan: ” Because Nature and Man are one and their vulnerabilities force us to act, the Anyama endowment fund has made it its mission to protect the living. ».
The winner assured, in a correspondence with the Parisian, to have already “ passed on most of his winnings to his endowment fund since winning in December 2020 “, He made it clear that he would give” gradually almost all to this same foundation.
No information on this altruist is provided on the site of his foundation, which on the other hand highlights the identity of the experts from various backgrounds who work for it.
« During my life, I have witnessed in Côte d’Ivoire the incessant passage of trucks loaded with trees cut in the forests of Burkina Faso. This ballet of trucks marked me a lot, indignant“said the generous donor in his open letter.
Questioned by AFP, the FDJ described as ” grand premiere a donation of such magnitude and the reasons that prompted the winner to play, emphasizing that he ” it’s not uncommon for winners to be generous, but what’s a first is the proportion of the winnings donated to a philanthropic cause ».
This jackpot of 200 million euros is the second biggest win ever won in France. The most important in history in France, is a gain of 220 million euros, won almost a year later, in October 2021, still by a Frenchman.
