Listen to the story

The French gaming company FDJ organised a new EuroMillions draw on Friday, November 6.

EuroMillions is an international lottery game. It is played in several European countries.

Players choose numbers before the draw. They hope their numbers match the winning ones.

This draw included a special prize called the Mega Jackpot. A jackpot is the largest prize offered in a lottery game.

Players can take part in EuroMillions in different ways. They can buy a ticket at a physical shop.

They can also play online, through FDJ's website or app.

After each draw, FDJ publishes the results. These results list the winning numbers for that day.

People who bought a ticket can check whether they have won. They compare their numbers with the official results.

The time of the draw and the moment when results appear can change slightly. Players are usually advised to check official sources for exact details.

EuroMillions draws happen regularly, usually twice a week. Each draw gives players a new chance to win a prize.

The jackpot amount can grow over time if nobody wins it in earlier draws. This often increases public interest in the game.

FDJ is the main operator of lottery games in France. It also runs other games, including scratch cards and sports betting.
