Every week brings you chances to win it big on French Loto

Loto is one of the most popular games offered by Française des Jeux (FDJ), the operator of all lottery games in France. The French Loto has been making millionaires and paying out non-jackpot prizes since 1976.

French Loto

French Lotto offers nine prize categories and the overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 5.99, making it a favourite amongst the citizens of France as well as players from around the world. To win the top prize, a ticket holder needs to match all six numbers drawn.

There are also other prizes available, from a €2.20 reimbursement for matching just the Chance number to €100,000for matching all five main numbers.

The French National Lottery game, officially known as Loto, launched in 1976 with draws taking place every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.

Jeu Multiple option

Almost everyone can play in France the lottery; the age restriction is that the player has to 16 of age. Selecting your numbers yourself and up to 10 games can be played for each ticket. A player can also choose to play same numbers up to 5 successive draws.

This is the standard way to play Loto, also called Jeu Simple. However a unique feature for the Loto is the Jeu Multiple option, meaning a player can choose up to 10 numbers (additional 4 numbers) that will create up to 210 entries.

Choosing extra numbers can increase the odds of guessing 6 numbers correctly significantly. It doesn't matter if the player plays Jeu Simple or Jeu Multiple; he can still pick his numbers on his own or let the machine do this for him.

Since the French Loto has 49 possible numbers then dividing them to the low number 1 to 25 and high numbers 25 to 49 creates 2 groups of numbers, high and low. The best will be to choose a set of proportioned high-low numbers, e.g. 3:3 and 2:4. This way a player can avoid paying too much attention to a series of numbers exceeding the ratio.

French Loto Raffle

This Loto Raffle is played alongside the main Loto game and offers guaranteed prizes. A unique raffle code is generated for each line of Loto numbers played, and ten winning codes are then selected at random. Each of the ten winners receives €20,000.

Special raffle draws are also held from time to time to create even more winners, with a Christmas raffle in 2017 offering 100 prizes of €20,000.

When you have a moment you can get familiar with the Superenalotto from Italy, that creates bigger jackpots than every other state lottery in Europe. The main reason for this is that there are three draws per week which creates lots of exciting rollovers.
