How to play French Lotto
This lotto has a lot of pluses. Almost as many as the potential number of zeros added to your bank balance! It’s so simple – match five numbers from the first pool ranging from 1 – 49 and one number between 1 – 10 known as the Chance Number from the second pool.
Another plus is that there are nine prize tiers, so even if you don’t win the jackpot, you still have a fair chance of winning another prize. The jackpot starts with €2 million and, if not won, increases by €1 million. Given that the draw happens three times weekly, the pot snowballs, and has the potential to roll over as many as 34 times before rolling down to the next prize tier. Furthermore, every entry line comes with a code for the entirely separate France Lotto Raffle, which sits at around €20 000.
