Toulouse: A gain of €500,000 won by a Toulouse woman at a tobacconist in the city center
A young Toulouse girl won 500,000 in the Cash scratch game. She had bought her ticket at Le Temps de Vivre, a tobacconist and press point in downtown Toulouse.
Would loyalty and perseverance be rewarded? In any case for a young Toulouse, there is no longer room for doubt. At 30, this young Toulousaine (anonymity required), has just won the handsome sum of €500,000 on May 3. “This young woman regularly buys the Cash scratch game for €5 at the Au Temps de Vivre press point, rue du Poids de l’Huile in Toulouse, recalls Ana de Freitas, Haute-Garonne referent of the Française des Jeux (FDJ) who has more than 30,000 points of sale nationwide. Last time, on a lucky day, with her €10 win, she reinvested in two Cash and won €500,000. Unbelievable “.
The young woman who, a week later, is still struggling to believe in this unexpected chance, had the winnings checked at the press office as required by the rules. “She will soon leave to pocket the jackpot at the Agence de la Française des Jeux in Paris with a price in full financial charge”, assures Ana de Freitas.
But what will she do with this money? “While keeping her job, she tries to organize projects, explains Ana. For example, she will offer her whole family an outing to an amusement park and invest in real estate. She thinks about the future, keeps a cool head. Without being completely cicada, she wants to have fun.
“You have to believe in your luck”
Pascal Herrada, head of the Au Temps de Vivre press point, said: “People often think that it is impossible to win at games of chance. It’s wrong. You have to believe in your luck. We often had winners with different amounts. Obviously, as in this case, we know the winner, it affects us more. »
Would Haute-Garonne be a baraka department for gambling? “Since the start of the year, in Toulouse and its outskirts, we have already had five My Millions (Euromillion) winners,” says Ana De Freitas. We can say that the Pink City is lucky”.
