EuroMillions player from Maubourguet wins €1 million

A resident of Maubourguet in the Hautes‑Pyrénées bought an EuroMillions ticket on a whim in early April and won €1 million, including the My Million code. The winner, an occasional player, discovered the winning numbers while watching the draw on television and confirmed the result on the French lottery website.

The local press shop, Maison de la presse de Maubourguet, reported the win as the largest recorded in its 25‑year history, noting the surprise of its director Fabrice Comte. The win has generated local publicity and the winner plans to share part of the prize with family while saving the rest for the future.
