On 30 September last year, a validated My Million ticket in Gironde became the key to a dream: it bore the code HX 965 5996, drawn at random, and was worth €1 million. However, the holder of this precious receipt has still not come forward. With just a few days to go, the Française des Jeux (FDJ) is stepping up its calls and warnings: if the person concerned does not claim their prize before 28 November, they risk losing it for good.
A colossal opportunity, a worrying silence
During the EuroMillions – My Million draw on 30 September 2025, the winning combination was announced and, at the same time, a My Million code was drawn to award a win of €1 million. The winning code is clearly identified: HX 965 5996.
The problem? The ticket holder has not yet gone to the FDJ to claim his prize or contacted the dedicated service. Several media outlets, including WIT FM, are reporting that the FDJ has launched a full-scale search. The FDJ itself is reminding players in Gironde to check their receipts carefully, whether physical or digital: a million euros could be there, overlooked.
A fearsome countdown
The My Million rules impose a 60-day time limit for winners to come forward. This deadline expires on 28 November at 23:59. After this date, the FDJ considers that the prize has not been claimed, which means that it will be redistributed.
So what happens to the money? According to the FDJ, it can be used for special prize pools or promotional offers on its platforms. In other words, the money is not purely lost: it re-enters the gaming system, but does not benefit its lucky winner.
Given the urgency of the situation, the FDJ is inviting anyone who played on 30 September and validated a EuroMillions – My Million grid to check their tickets thoroughly. The number to contact is 09 69 36 60 60, via which the player will be put in touch with the Winners’ Support and Experience department.
With just a few days to go, this story is a mixture of hope and worry. One person could change his life, but remains silent. The FDJ is making more and more calls, distributing the code HX 965 5996 and mobilising its teams. It’s up to the lucky person to come forward and win this million before time runs out and the opportunity evaporates.
