Where Belgium Ranks in EuroMillions
It was quickly announced that the lucky entry had been sold in Belgium, and now the wait is on for the winner to come forward and claim their prize. They have 20 weeks to stake a claim, and they have the option to go public or remain anonymous.
Even if they decide to keep their identity private, the Belgian National Lottery usually releases a few bits of information about the winner and their lives. For example, it was revealed that the player who won €17 million in April came from Liege and liked to holiday in Spain. Belgium’s biggest winner, meanwhile, said he was a fan of Robert De Niro films and liked cooking with fish after winning €168 million back in 2016. He was a father of four from Brussels and wanted to help ‘people in need’, but his name was never made public.
Belgium has now had 31 jackpot winners since EuroMillions was launched in 2004, making it the fifth most successful country behind Spain, France, the UK and Portugal.
