La Réunion resident finds one million euro lottery ticket in phone case

A resident of La Réunion discovered a winning EuroMillions ticket worth one million euros while cleaning his smartphone case. The ticket, which had been forgotten for several days, was validated in Sainte-Marie for the July 31, 2026, draw.

The prize was won through the My Million option, and the winner intends to share the winnings with several family members. The discovery occurred within the 60-day validity period required by FDJ United to claim lottery prizes. While this individual secured a significant sum, the main EuroMillions jackpot of 89 million euros from the same July 31 draw remained unclaimed.
