French Couple Wins €20 Million Grand Loto de Noël Jackpot

The winners, who discovered their prize on Christmas morning, plan to travel, buy a new car, and share their fortune with their children.

A French couple won the €20 million jackpot in the Grand Loto de Noël, drawn on December 24, 2024.
The husband discovered the win on Christmas morning while checking his emails and shared the news with his wife, who initially could not believe it.
The winning numbers—9, 19, 37, 40, 44, and lucky number 5—were selected using the 'flash' option, a random number generator on the FDJ website.
This is not the family’s first lottery win; the husband’s father had previously won €50,000 in a group lottery decades ago.
The couple, who chose to remain anonymous, plans to use their winnings to travel the world, purchase a new car, and treat their children.
