Chance did things well for a Lotto player. Last Saturday, May 13, she pocketed 5 million euros after getting the wrong day and slightly changing her grid.
His luck was down to one number. On Saturday May 13, the amount of the Loto grid jackpot amounted to 5 million euros. More than 900,000 grids have won, but only one has found all the numbers, as well as the Chance number. And this victory would not have taken place without a series of coincidences. Even if the Française des jeux and EuroMillions have given tips for finding the numbers most likely to be drawn, chance remains a strategy that works. In an interview with the specialized site Tirage Gagnant, the winner returned to her improbable story.
Occasional lover of gambling, attracted by the large sum offered to the winner of May 13, 2023, she decided to try her luck. Hoping to take the loot, she therefore reopens her online player account and bets on two flash grids. First disappointment: she got the day wrong. In order to still be able to play for May 13, the contestant decides to bet again, changing only one number on its two grids. She replaces the number 45 with the number 34: an important number, since it refers to the year of birth of her father.
