EuroMillions Draw Held on Friday, October 30
Listen to the story
The French lottery operator FDJ held its EuroMillions draw on the evening of Friday, October 30.
EuroMillions is a popular lottery game played across several European countries. Players choose numbers and buy a ticket in hopes of matching the ones selected during the draw.
The winning numbers are announced after the draw takes place, and results are usually available for players to check online soon afterward.
Before this week's draw, organizers confirmed that a French player was guaranteed to become a millionaire, winning at least one million euros.
This kind of guarantee sometimes happens with special EuroMillions events, where a prize of this size is promised to at least one player from a certain country, regardless of the overall jackpot result.
EuroMillions draws normally take place twice a week, and millions of people across Europe take part, hoping for a life-changing win.
Many players check the results through the FDJ website or official apps shortly after each draw to see if their numbers matched.
