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

The prize was won through the ‘My Million’ option. The winner intends to share the winnings with several family members. The discovery occurred within the 60-day validity period required to claim prizes, though the main EuroMillions jackpot of 89 million euros from the same draw remained unclaimed.
