Winning Numbers
Loto
Loto is France’s national lottery game, with tickets costing €2.20.
Loto draws take place three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays at 20:35 local time.
To enter Loto, choose five numbers between 1 and 49, plus an additional number called the Chance Number between 1 and 10. Players can select the Flash option to play with randomly generated numbers, with all Loto tickets automatically entered into a raffle that produces 10 €20,000 winners during each draw.
For an extra €0.80, the “2nd Edition” option can be activated. This enters the five main numbers into a second draw with a jackpot of €100,000.
Also, two Joker+ games take place after each draw, costing an extra €1.00 or €2.00 to enter. The €500,000 jackpot is won by matching seven randomly generated numbers in the order they are drawn, with smaller prizes paid out for matching shorter sequences.
Jackpot
Loto has a minimum guaranteed jackpot of €2 million.
Loto has no jackpot cap but does have a rollover cap of 34 draws. Each time the jackpot rolls over, it increases by €1 million, with the maximum possible jackpot potentially reaching €36 million. The jackpot has never grown this large but would roll down to the next prize tier if it did.
