France wins EuroMillions 250 million prize in historic draw

A ticket from France won the EuroMillions superjackpot of 250 million euros, the cap after several rollovers. The prize is the largest in this draw’s history. The winning numbers were 24, 31, 34, 41, 43 with Lucky Stars 06 and 08. The UK Millionaire Maker also guarantees at least one 1 million pound prize in every draw.

This follows another large win earlier this month when an Irish family syndicate claimed 250 million euros. The jackpot reached the maximum after a series of rollovers, underscoring the draw’s global appeal and the sheer scale of today’s prizes.

A windfall of this size changes more than bank balances. It raises questions about privacy and security, and about the support new wealth needs to stay stable over time. Winners face public attention, potential scams, and the challenge of turning luck into lasting financial security. The story also shows how cross border lotteries keep drawing interest and pressuring policymakers to think about safeguards and fair play.
