French lottery winner claims record €13 million jackpot

On 6 June 2026 a resident of the Oise department matched all six numbers in the national Lotto, winning €13 million – the highest jackpot ever recorded in that department and the 28th French jackpot of 2026. The winner remains anonymous under the French Games’s privacy rules and has 60 days to claim the prize.

Earlier, on 24 April 2026, a player in the Orne department hit the winning combination in the Super Loto 50‑year anniversary draw, also securing a €13 million prize. The Française des Jeux issued a public notice urging the ticket holder to come forward before 22 June, after which the jackpot would be forfeited. Both wins represent unprecedented sums for their respective regions and highlight the growing number of large Lotto payouts in France this year.
