Lucky couple won big while on vacation in Les Hautes-Pyrénées

A couple from Les Hautes-Pyrénées, France, has won 26 million euros in the EuroMillions lottery while on vacation.

The couple, who have not been identified, are said to be in their 50s and live in a small town in southwestern France.

They bought the winning ticket in a local tabac shop while on vacation in the Hautes-Pyrénées, a region in southwestern France known for its beautiful mountains and lakes.

The couple said they were "overjoyed" when they found out they had won. They plan to use the money to buy a new home, travel the world, and help their children.

This is the second major lottery win in France in recent months. In April, a woman from Brittany won 22 million euros in the EuroMillions lottery.

The EuroMillions lottery is one of the most popular lotteries in Europe, with jackpots that can reach hundreds of millions of euros.
