After twelve draws with no one to win the bet, the Loto finally has a winner.
A player won a gain of 26 million euros in the Saturday night draw.
It is above all the largest gain ever awarded since the launch of this game in 1976, indicates the website of the Française des Jeux (FDJ).
The previous record jackpot, amounting to 24,000,008 euros, was won in Sarcelles in June 2011, according to the FDJ.
No details have been revealed on the identity or whereabouts of the record winner.
But if you ticked off 3, 5, 15, 33, 49 as well as lucky number 8, then you know it's you.
