In Marquette-le-Lille (North), good news has just arrived in Thierry’s mailbox. In a letter addressed to him a year ago, he was informed that he may have won the jackpot: an annuity of €3,333.33 per month for twenty-five years, or a total of one million euros. To find out, the 63-year-old pensioner at that time simply dialed a toll-free number and gave the combination of numbers indicated in the letter. Thierry does not hesitate: the letter is accompanied by an autograph signed by Julien Lepers, the historic former host of Questions for a Champion, a general culture program on France 3. The pensioner likes him: “He inspires confidence in me,” he says. I told myself this is serious. »
At the end of the telephone conversation, Thierry did not win the jackpot, but the interlocutor invites him to participate in the lottery, without any connection with the original promise. All you need to do is pay a monthly subscription of around fifty euros to play in the EuroMillions group draws and maximize your chances of winning. The fame of Julien Lepers serves as bait to seduce clients.
