A lottery came out on June 14th, on Belgium. The jackpot of 3.5 million euros There was a winner, in a bulletin registered in Waasland.
June, July, August passed… More than 4 months have passed and the winner is always “silent”. No sign of him.
In September, those responsible for the Belgian National Lottery decided to publish the notice: they were looking of the winner. On top of that it is one of the highest values ever.
The prize could only be claimed until the day November 1. The Lottery opened an internal search process for the holder of the winning ticket.
The research began, asking players, through various channels, to check their tickets: in their pocket, in their purse, in their wallet… “Behind the scenes, every effort was made to identify the winner”, indicates the entity.
Until, when the deadline was just about to end, the winner he appeared. The Belgian National Lottery last Tuesday managed to locate the winner of the 3.5 million euro jackpot.
Those responsible indicate that it was possible to find the winner due to the “efficiency of the IT systems and the experience of its employees”.

The identity of the winner was not revealed. It won’t be. And there will be no public ceremony at the place where the ticket was registered.
