“If it can avoid making the winners lose their minds”
Post on the front door, sign and sticker in the corner reserved for the different check boxes. At the tobacco bar Le Victoria, in the center of Toulon, it’s difficult to miss the new super-lottery from Française des jeux, called EuroDreams. The promise: up to 20,000 euros per month to be won for 30 years by betting 2.50 euros. If the sheets to fill out are already arranged between those of EuroMillions and Keno, the official opening takes place tomorrow for a first draw a week later.
Most of the regulars at the Friday morning crossover games are not yet aware. Others are rushing to try their luck. This is the case of Farah, 37, who came to recover 210 euros following having bet 100 on the correct scorer via Parions sport. “The EuroDreams, of course I will test it,” assures this air conditioning technician, who fits into the desired target of 25-40 year olds. If I win, I can start my own business. All credits will be released. » Then he adds: “Afterwards, with the FDJ, we think we are winning but we are always losing”.
Less risky “scratching”?
Wahi, a 30-year-old cook, won’t be fooled: “you have to be lucky, I’ve never had any.” After succumbing to various lotteries for fifteen years, with 10 euros per week, she said stop. The trigger? “I did the accounts: how much I put in my pocket and how much I put in their fund,” she explains. Wahi, however, has not completely given up gambling.
Since then, she has started “scratching”. Less risky, according to this woman from Toulouse: “In one day, I happened to win 200 euros three times.” This still finds an advantage in EuroDreams. “It’s better than a huge jackpot in one go, if it can avoid making the winners lose their minds,” explains this employee. What would she do with 20,000 euros per month for 30 years? “I would buy a sailboat and travel around the world with my family,” she anticipates. I will also share it with friends. »
Another customer comes to collect 100 euros, won with Super Cash. “There are people who are lucky and I am one of them,” smiles Sophie, 48, while picking up two tickets. It allows me to go shopping, pay my taxes or buy perfume. » She also will not “let herself be tempted” by EuroDreams, which might nevertheless allow her to multiply her salary as a waitress tenfold.
Ecology, more attractive
By receiving eight times more thanks to the FDJ, Nathalie would do well without working. “I would always provide care to people, but as a volunteer,” explains this 39-year-old nurse. Without constraint, without obligation. Today, the system is poorly made! »
More mixed, Charline and Jean, a Toulon-Parisian couple, came to check a lotto grid. He, who has just learned of the existence of EuroDreams, will play for the first lottery. “The idea is good,” says this swimming pool specialist who earns around 4,000 euros per month. I like the game, just for fun.” She prefers another novelty from the FDJ, Mission nature, part of the profits from which are donated to the French Office for Biodiversity (OFB): “It’s better to give to ecology rather than to Stéphane Bern!
