A remarkable turn of luck unfolded during the last Super Loto of the year organized by the Française des Jeux (FDJ) on December 13, 2024, coinciding with the infamous Friday the 13th. The event proved fortuitous for one lucky player who managed to snag the extraordinary jackpot of 13 million euros.
With much anticipation surrounding this date filled with superstitions and beliefs, the lucky French winner hit the unforgettable combination of numbers: 2, 4, 9, 27, 29, along with the bonus number 4. This single winner, the sole recipient of the jackpot, will not have to share the prize. The FDJ stated, "Cette date aura porté chance à un joueur qui a remporté le jackpot exceptionnel de 13 millions d’euros," marking the significance of the player's win.
But the excitement did not stop there. Twelve other players breathed sighs of relief as they matched the five main numbers. Each of these fortunate players will leave with 71,927 euros, as stated by the FDJ: "Douze grilles permettent également à leurs propriétaires de repartir avec 71 927,30 euros chacun." This successful draw also saw over 200 players match four numbers plus the bonus number, securing themselves winnings of 1,359 euros each.
The additional rewards mark the draw as one of the most successful events of the year for participants. With numbers like these, it’s no wonder the thrill of participating and waiting for the next draw is palpable among many avid players.
For those who opted to play with the Joker + option, the winning sequence was revealed as 1,661,587. Players seeing their numbers come up certainly made this Friday the 13th anything but unlucky.
Notably, the FDJ also celebrated the completion of the final draw with other attractive rewards. Fifty players received 20,000 euros each courtesy of their Loto codes, tying the suspense and enjoyment with the overall excitement of the day.
Looking to the future, the next Loto event is set to take place on Saturday, December 14, 2024, with modest winnings of 2 million euros awaiting eager players. Although the jackpot might revert to zero, the anticipation of potential winnings keeps spirits high.
The recent draw came on the heels of another significant lottery event—Euromillions—offering up to 64 million euros on the same night. This highlights the expansive lottery atmosphere enveloping France, with multiple winning possibilities at the forefront.
Players are eagerly marking calendars for the upcoming Loto de Noël, taking place on December 24, where at least 20 million euros are slated to be won or shared. Besides, the holiday spirit is set to entice even more players, as the FDJ promises 100 winners of 20,000 euros will be drawn, ensuring the festive season is wrapped up with excitement.
These lottery events, imbued with elements of chance and opportunity, remind players and observers alike of the thrill and hope generated every time numbers are drawn. With the chance of changing lives with just one ticket, lotteries continue to captivate hearts and imaginations.
With the FDJ maintaining its legacy of extraordinary prizes, players can eagerly look forward to participating, hoping they too will emerge as lucky winners. After all, on days like Friday the 13th, anything is possible when it involves fate.
