Since February 13, the National Lottery has been looking for the eighth winner of the action Shower of Millionaires from Friday 21 January. The appeal launched by the institution in the press and on its own channels bore fruit, since the winner presented herself at the offices of the Lottery. “It is a resident of the province of Walloon Brabant who is now richer by a million euros”says the Lottery.
During the draw of January 21, 100 millionaires had been designated, including 8 in Belgium. To win the million, you did not have to guess the figures of the draw, but simply hold one of the My Bonus winning codes listed on the ticket.
“Seven lucky winners very quickly came to claim their prize of €1,000,000 but the eighth was a bit delayed. So far so far. Our eighth winner is a woman aged 35 to 44 from the province of Walloon Brabant. She played EuroMillions on January 21 at a bookshop in Louvain-la-Neuve for the minimum amount of €2.5. She showed up earlier in the week in Brussels with the winning game ticket featuring the voucher code My Bonus.”
The winner, whose anonymity is guaranteed by the Lottery, said she occasionally plays Lotto or EuroMillions on special occasions and therefore expressly played for the action Shower of Millionaires of the Lottery.
“She saw a first call from the National Lottery in the Walloon press but had not paid attention to it since she had already checked her five numbers and her two stars and they had not turned out to be winners. It was only when the Lottery exceptionally published the winning My Bonus code that it realized that it was an additional code that one receives for free with each combination played. his great surprise that the code on his game ticket corresponded to that mentioned in the press. A phone call to the support unit for National Lottery winners then quickly brought him confirmation.
With the appearance of this winner from Walloon Brabant, the eight new Belgian millionaires are now known. They are five women and three men. “Three of these lucky eight come from Wallonia: two from the province of Hainaut and one from Walloon Brabant, therefore. In Flanders, the fate was favorable to players from almost all the Flemish provinces: two in the province of Antwerp, one in Limburg, one in East Flanders and, finally, the province of West Flanders also has a new EuroMillions millionaire.”
