Toulouse: a winner of one million euros at the Mymillion game in a tobacco-press
At Mag Presse de Saint-Simon, in Toulouse, Nadine Hubert validated a winning ticket. A first for her.
Since Friday, Nadine Hubert’s Tabac Presse has been displaying color on the window, at 55 chemin de Basso-Cambo, in Toulouse. Indeed, the Française des Jeux came to give him a giant blue poster, indicating that at home, a player had won one million euros, in the My million game, EuroMillions, on November 17th. “That’s how I learned of the amount of my client’s gain,” says Nadine Hubert.
Indeed, since December, the manager of Mag Presse Saint-Simon knows that she has one lucky winner among her clients. “But it’s a customer who has a five-week subscription to EuroMillions, he doesn’t always look at the results of the draws and above all he has to wait for the five weeks to be paid to come and get paid”.
Also at the beginning of December, when the latter came to check his tickets in Nadine Hubert’s shop, “when passing them through the terminal of the Française des Jeux, I had a jackpot alert”, recalls the manager.
In the process, the latter contacts the organizing company which confirms the gain.
“I immediately told my client that he had won a large sum of more than €30,000 and that to pocket it, he had to contact La Française des Jeux. At that time, I did not know that my client had won a million, ”adds the manager. It either.
This is the first time “a large sum like that” has been pocketed in Tabac Presse by Nadine Hubert, who has taken over this business for eight years. The lucky beneficiary is a regular, who regularly plays her EuroMillions at home. Since her client has comfortably bailed out her bank account, Nadine Hubert has not spoken with him. “Anyway, you can only be fine when you receive such a sum. When he came in December, I just said Merry Christmas to him and gave him back his winning ticket,” she continues.
If his client has since returned to his shop, he is discreet. “He didn’t comment. I think he wants to remain anonymous, ”slips the manager.
On the other hand, as soon as the large poster of the Française des Jeux was put up, people rushed to Mag Presse to try their luck in turn. “In addition, there were 100 draws for the My Million to a million. We made a lot of players, ”rejoices Nadine Hubert An effect which should last a few more weeks, before falling.
