Now is the time to find out if you’re lucky. This Friday, February 5, 2021, a mega jackpot of 130 million euros minimum is brought into play atEuromillions.
It’s the “First mega jackpot of the year”, notes the Française des Jeux (FDJ) in a press release.
200 million, biggest win ever
In case of a winner on Friday night, it would be the sixth biggest gain in the history of the FDJ. The current record of earnings is 200 million euros, won by a Frenchman on the Internet in December 2020. It is also “the biggest gain ever won within the entire Euromillions community”.
Among the other biggest gains in France, come next that of more than 169 million euros won in the Alpes-Maritimes in November 2012, that of 160 million in Calvados in 2011, the more than 157 million won in the Bas -Rhin in November 2020 or the 132 million won in Seine-et-Marne in March 2013.
As a reminder, the amount of the Euromillions jackpot usually starts at 17 million euros and can gradually reach 250 million euros since the launch of the new format of the game in February 2020.

What’s new for gambling addiction
In France, “these exceptional jackpots generate an average of 5 million bets, compared to 2.6 million on average every Friday,” says the FDJ.
Not surprisingly in view of the sums at stake that everyone projects a little hope in hoping to win the cup. Be careful, however, not to succumb to the sirens of gambling.
In an attempt to protect themselves from it, the National Gaming Authority (ANJ), which now manages the file of voluntary gambling bans, has simplified its procedures to apply to be registered.
