In Colmar, a family won 18 million euros in the Heritage Loto on September 16. Wishing to remain anonymous, the siblings said they wanted to “change society”.
Every family’s dream. In a tobacco shop located in Colmar, a family from Haut-Rhin won 18 million euros in the Heritage Loto on Saturday September 16, reports France 3 Grand Est.
The winners are members of a group of siblings and requested anonymity. It was only on October 6 that the older sister went to collect the lot in Boulogne-Billancourt. She claims to want to “change society” and to act for this “for several years”.
Helping the most vulnerable people
“I support six associations that are close to my heart, such as the French Cardiology Federation, Apprentis d’Auteuil and Guide Dogs for the Blind. I will continue to give to them, but now I will be able to do it on a larger scale,” she added.
Among her objectives, she plans to create an association to help the most vulnerable people: “I hope that this project can shine in my region and then throughout France, like a snowball effect.”
For Michel Guntzburger, the Colmar tobacconist, this event is “a source of pride for the city and for the tobacco shop”. And to continue by ironically about the name of the brand: “I wanted to call my tobacco ‘the favorite’, just to push my luck a little, but I still waited 22 years.”
The merchant impatiently awaits the arrival of new customers. “We hear so much about ‘we never win here’. Now it’s over, we can no longer say that it’s impossible,” he says happily.
