Speaking of France, money, and history, had it not been for the USA during WWII, the French today would be speaking German and the French currency would be the Reichsmark.

Josh- someone had to win sooner or later dude.

Imagine had you won ( which would have been great) and hearing someone saying

Sucks, someone won it.Was hoping it would roll again to $125 mil..you get the idea.

You would have undoubtedly been a big Neville Chamberlain fan, jimmy.

Or Marshal Petain.

Or whatever side you thought was going to win.

And you would have sucked-up to whoever it was.

I'm a Christian and an American Patriot.

You and I have nothing in common, jimmy.

Whatsoever.

It's too bad you weren't on hand to help. Why, I'm sure you would have at least attempted to eject the Wehrmacht from France, single handedly, if necessary. On second thought, when I look at these pictures and reread some of your previous posts on war and weaponry, I think you would have found the Wehrmacht a much better fit for yourself.

France is on a roll this year, this is the 4th huge win for them wow.

Congrats to the lucky winner in France, hope he or she spends it wisely.

I did turn out to be a winner, I did receive that email from the national lottery saying News about your ticket and for me to log into my account, and lord and behold I won 90.30 for matching 4 main numbers, that's a good return since I bought only 2 lucky dips woo hooo.

It was the whole world, from pacifists like Neville Chamberlain in England to collaborators like Marshal Petain of the Vichy Government in France.

Evil prevails when good men stand by and do nothing.

Like Deputy Barney Fife used to tell Sheriff Andy Taylor: Nip it in the bud, Andy, nip it, nip it, nip it

Its worse in NYC where the lottery winnings are taxed at Federal, State and City level. I bet other cities are itching to follow this fine example by NYC.

I have heard that UK does not tax lottery winnings. Is that also the case on France? I wish they would stop taxing lottery winnings out here.

here is a jackpot history for Euromillions: https://www.lotterypost.com/game/230/jackpot

Keep in mind 100 million US dollars is equal to about 77.9 million euro.

i think the frogs cancelled their rich mans tax of %75 , when the sucking sound of wealth leaving the country could be heard over the slurping of snails from shells.

...someone in France won...

I hope it was one of the communists who voted to confiscate most of the rich people's income.

That would be poetic justice.

And so satisfying...

Can grow pretty fast, sometimes they pump it up straight away to 80M to get more players. But mostly starts to grow around 15M at a time.

Sorry Josh, it's always kinda disappointing to see it won, especially if you aren't the lucky ticket holder.

How fast does Euromillions grow? How long till its back over 100 million

Euromillions finally won, back down to 12M.

JoshUK — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 23:22:21 GMT

Sucks, someone won it. Was hoping it would roll again to 125M but someone in France won it so its back to 12M. Guess I will be waiting for it to get back up there and maybe play it again.
