Profile Emerges of Five Friends Who Won €250 Million EuroMillions in Paris

Media reports prompted the anonymous group to identify themselves to authorities.

Overview

  • FDJ says the winners are men and women in their 50s who have known one another for nearly half a century.
  • The ticket was filled out at a tobacconist in Auteuil in Paris’s 16th arrondissement.
  • They played together for the first time and selected 24, 31, 34, 41, 43 with star numbers 6 and 8.
  • The group kept the ticket in a safe and presented it several days after the August draw.
  • A report about an Aveyron resident claiming the right combination spurred their discreet disclosure, and they say charities will not be forgotten.
