A historic jackpot of 200 million euros was won on Friday evening by a French person during the EuroMillions draw.
Like all the big winners rewarded by the Française des Jeux, the winner of Friday will be able to follow an accompaniment of the FDJ to adapt to his new life of multimillionaire.
We did not yet know, Saturday at midday, the lucky winner or the lucky winner of the 200 million euros won on Friday evening in the EuroMillions draw.
The Frenchwoman or the Frenchwoman who won this record gain for the country and on a European scale has 120 days to make herself known.
It is then the Française des Jeux (FDJ) who will give him the very large check.
And as is the case for all the big winners, the FDJ will also offer him support to adapt to his new life as a multimillionaire.

"It can be a bit unsettling"
"It can be a little unsettling. Very quickly, you have to have new points of reference. We are here for that", explains Isabelle Cesari, responsible for the big winners at the FDJ.
This support, she specifies, consists of both advice "on asset management" and "on personal development".
This represents, according to Isabelle Cesari, "a lot, a lot of workshops".
However, this support is optional.
Some winners refuse to follow him because they claim to know exactly what to do with their millions.
The 200 million euros won on Friday represent the price of more than 1,400 new Clios and more than 13,000 years paid at the minimum wage.
One in 140 million chance of finding the right combination
The winner had a one in 140 million chance of finding the right combination.
The FDJ confirmed Friday that this is the biggest gain ever won in France and in the history of the European lottery.
The previous one was 190 million euros, won several times, the last time in November 2019 in the UK.
In France, the record until Friday stood at 170 million euros and was won in the Alpes-Maritimes in November 2012.
