It’s a day that this father will remember! On January 24, while he was walking his children to school before going to work, this man from Gard decided to treat himself to a little scratch card game at a point of sale that was on his way.

Until the end of the suspense

He therefore stopped at the newsagent’s run by Hatem Boussaha, at the Grillons shopping center, on the Courbessac road in Nîmes and using the key ring of his car keys, began to scratch his “x20” game. With only two squares left, this lucky man found, under one of them, the “x5” symbol accompanied by the sum of 100,000 euros. Bingo! This lucky guy has just won the fantastic amount of €500,000. “When I saw the win, I started to tremble,” says the man, still in shock. Stunned, the happy winner announces that he will use this money to help his loved ones.

Suffice to say that the game “x20” is particularly popular in our department: this is the fifth time in a few months that such a sum has been won in the Gard. Indeed, in January of this year, already, at the Jean Bart in Beaucaire, the jackpot of €500,000 was already pocketed by a customer, while in 2024, in August, October and November, in Alès, Beaucaire and Nîmes similar events occurred.

The check will soon be delivered, at the place of his victory, to the lucky winner.
