€600,000 FDJ Scratchcard Win in Brittany Fuels Pledge to Help a Loved One

FDJ confirmed the anonymous Lanmeur win from a Mega Crosswords ticket purchased November 18 at Bar des Sports.

Overview

  • The winner from Lanmeur in Finistère has chosen to remain anonymous.
  • She says she will use part of the windfall to support a close loved one facing a difficult situation.
  • The Mega Crosswords scratchcard revealed nine words on the grid, an unusually large result for the game.
  • FDJ notes players typically need just two words to claim a prize, and the nine-word ticket secured the €600,000 jackpot, about £525,000.
  • She called the result “a godsend” in comments to FDJ, and said her husband verified the ticket when she struggled to believe the win.
