She played on May 4 and clearly did well. A mother, who usually plays the lottery with her daughter, won a jackpot of 13 million euros in Vienna.

The weather was bad in Vienne on May 4. That didn't stop a mother, who went to play her three Loto grids, despite the rain. "It’was really a day not to stick my nose outside, but I told my daughter that I had an intuition, she explained to the FDJ , quoted by France Bleu.

Great good for her, since after playing her favorite numbers, she discovers, in the evening while turning on the television, that the department of Vienne, where she lives, had a winner.

Projects and purchases

"I realized we had won when the department of Vienne appeared on the map. My daughter had returned home, I called her immediately."

The mother and daughter celebrated the news together the following evening, and our colleagues indicate that the family will share the winnings.

With 13 million euros, this is enough to dream big for these inhabitants of Neuville-de-Poitou. As for projects, the mother is going to buy an electric bike and wants to travel. Her daughter needs a computer and a car. The budget will be far from tight.
