France Lotto
Why Play This Lottery
Three draws a week. France Lotto gives you Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday chances at a jackpot starting at EUR 2 million and rolling upward every time nobody wins.
Le Loto has been France's lottery since 1976 — nearly five decades of jackpot winners, life-changing prizes, and national excitement around every draw.
Better odds than EuroMillions, more draws per week than UK Lotto, and a rollover jackpot with no ceiling. France Lotto delivers consistently.
What Can You Win?
Nine prize tiers. One in six tickets wins something. France Lotto is one of the most prize-dense major lotteries in the world, and it runs three times a week.
Land four numbers plus the Numéro Chance and you are already in five-figure prize territory. Land five without the Numéro Chance and you are into six figures.
Three draws per week, great odds, nine tiers to pay out at — France Lotto is a jackpot machine with real winning potential at every level.
How It Works
Five main numbers plus one Numéro Chance — pick your combination and enter the most frequent major lottery draw in Europe. Three shots a week at a growing jackpot.
The Numéro Chance unlocks the top prize tiers and adds a second dimension of excitement to every draw. Even close misses on the main numbers can still pay off.
Pick your numbers, confirm your entry, and be part of the French lottery tradition that has been making millionaires since 1976. Monday, Wednesday, or Saturday — the next draw is never far away.
Play with Crypto
Three draws a week, crypto accepted, no French bank account required. France Lotto is accessible to the whole world via digital currency.
Load Bitcoin or Ethereum onto your lottery account, pick five numbers plus a Numéro Chance, and you are in for the next Monday, Wednesday, or Saturday draw.
Win a French jackpot, withdraw in crypto. Three chances a week to make that happen — and crypto makes getting in easier than ever.
Draw Times
Monday, Wednesday, Saturday — France Lotto draws more often than almost any other major European lottery. That is 156 jackpot draws a year.
Sales close at 8:15 PM CET on draw nights. Get your entry in before then and you are in the running by 8:30. Results follow immediately.
Three opportunities every week to match your numbers. France Lotto's frequency is its superpower — more draws means more chances, more winners, and more excitement.
