Urgent Call For EuroMillions Winner To Claim 1 Million Euro Prize

A lucky ticket from the December draw goes unclaimed as the deadline approaches this Friday.

Time is running out for the lucky winner of the EuroMillions My Million draw from December 3, 2024. The winner, who purchased their ticket from Alpes-Maritimes, France, has until Friday, January 31, 2025, at 23:59 to claim their prize of one million euros. If they miss this deadline, they will forfeit their winnings permanently.

The Française des Jeux (FDJ) is making an urgent call for players to check their tickets, as the identity of the winner remains unknown. The winning ticket is associated with the code AE 196 0600, and the FDJ is eager for any potential winner to come forward.

According to FDJ officials, "Le gagnant, s’il se reconnaît, peut appeler le service client de FDJ au 09 69 36 60 601, qui le mettra en contact avec les équipes Accompagnement et Expérience Gagnants." This means the winner simply needs to contact the customer service team to guide them through the steps necessary to receive their payout.

This situation is particularly pressing, as every year, between three to four My Million prizes go unclaimed, which contributes to future jackpot draws. Losing such prizes not only affects the winners but also deprives future players of enhanced jackpots. The FDJ highlighted this aspect recently, emphasizing the importance of claiming funds.

EuroMillions is played across several European countries, and it guarantees multiple winners through its My Million draw which occurs with every main lottery drawing. Each ticket sold automatically generates its own unique My Million code, bolstering the excitement surrounding the lottery.

On Tuesday, January 28, 2025, the EuroMillions draw had staked 17 million euros for its participants. The winning numbers for this draw were 9, 37, 41, 42, and 49, alongside the two lucky stars, which were 1 and 9. Players hoping to test their luck next should keep these numbers and tips close.

To participate, players pay 2.50 euros for each ticket, which can be purchased at any FDJ point of sale or online at the official FDJ website. Once tickets are filled out, the results can be viewed via various FDJ channels, including their website, their app, or live on TF1 at designated times.

Checking for winnings is easy with the FDJ's app, which allows users to scan their tickets or use their winning simulator. Players who opted for online purchases will find their winnings credited to their FDJ account. They then have the choice to either withdraw their funds or use them to join future lotteries.

For those who have played the EuroMillions, the excitement continues with the knowledge of potential future winnings. The next draw of 17 million euros is just around the corner, and as many players remain hopeful of winning the grand prize, ensuring tickets are checked remains key.

So, will the mysterious million-euro winner step forward before the time runs out? If you have participated and have the ticket from the drawing on December 3, don’t wait any longer! Head to your ticket and reach out to the FDJ. Remember, the clock is ticking, and after January 31, 2025, this life-changing amount will be lost.
