Winning the French Lotto Jackpot

As is the case with any other lottery, it’s all about picking the right number. In the case of France Loto you have to choose five numbers from a range of 49. There’s also a Lucky Number involved from a range of 1-10. You win the Jackpot when the standard number and Lucky Number correctly, so six numbers in total. The minimum amount of Jackpot money is 2 million euros, but this increases when there’s no hit. In that case the Jackpot is one million more next time. The maximum number of roll overs is 34.

Big Jackpot
The winning odds of the France Loto Jackpot aren’t very high. On the other hand: the amount of Jackpot money is definitely impressive when you win. For example, a very lucky player won 24 million euros in 2011! It took 13 draws before this special moment. Interesting is the fact that the Jackpot started with 13 million euros, so because of the many rollovers it nearly doubled. Another great Jackpot hit took place in 1996. Sometimes it takes years, but when the Jackpot falls it definitely makes the headlines!

How Does France Loto Work?

The Basics

One of the best qualities of France Loto is its simplicity. The game mechanics are as straightforward as they can be—even newcomers will appreciate it. To play, you simply pick five numbers from a pool of 1 to 49, plus an additional Chance number from a range of 1 to 10. To win the jackpot, you must match all 6 of your chosen numbers. Simple, right? It gets better.

Like other lotteries, you don’t have to match all 6 of your numbers to win. You can match just 5 of your numbers, or just 4 + the chance number, and so on. Unlike other lotteries, you can even win by just matching the Chance number! In total, you have the chance to win in 10 prize tiers.

France Loto, as I’ve mentioned earlier, is a rollover lottery—which means that jackpots carry over to the next drawing if no one wins in the current one. Even better, rollovers can occur up to 34 times—each time growing at least €1 million per draw—and if no one still wins during the final rollover period, the prizes are simply distributed to the winners of the next tier in the prize ladder. In other words, you can win big—even if you don’t necessarily match all 6 of your numbers.

So What Happens if You Win?

All prizes won at France Loto are 100% tax-free—that is, of course, unless you live in another country or used a third-party lottery agent service to purchase your tickets. In such cases, you’d have to refer to your local tax laws or the rules of the lottery agent you used. Other than that, you can enjoy as much of your winnings as possible.

Another thing worth noting is that all France Loto winnings are paid out as a lump sum. That is, you can’t opt to be paid in yearly installments like some lotteries do. Combine this with a purely tax-free payout system and you’re looking at huge prizes, compared to other lotteries, to take home.

Finally, winners have a total of 60 days to come forward and claim their prizes. That is, if you purchased a physical ticket in France. If you purchased tickets online, most lottery agent services will help you with the prize claiming process.

Six prize categories Loto

Experience a bit of madness during the French Loto draws

French people like to make a gamble. This is clearly shown by the French Loto, that attracts thousands of players every week. France is completely excited three times a week, when the draw takes place. You can win big prizes and a Jackpot of a few million euros. It gets even more exciting when there is no Jackpot hit. In that case the money will be increased with one million dollars. So it comes at no surprise that there’s a little bit of madness during the French Loto draw!

Cheap lottery tickets
The lottery tickets are also quite cheap, namely 5 euro. Much cheaper than Dutch lotteries like the National Lottery and Bank Giro Lottery, for example. You can purchase the tickets easily online, namely at the Lotter. It might be a good option to purchase three lottery tickets together for 15 euro. In that case your chance on winning a French Loto prize is 1/16. You also benefit from the discount that is given on multiple tickets. Sometimes you even pay 25 percent less, while your winning chance increases as well!
Rules of the French Loto
The rules of the French Loto are really simple. You need to pick five numbers from a range of 1 to 49, and one extra number out of 1 to 10. You win the Jackpot if your chosen numbers and the extra numbers match with the numbers that appear during the draw. You win the second prize when five numbers match without the extra number. You win the third prize when four numbers and the extra number are correct. You can even win the tenth prize. In that case only the extra number (1-10) must be correct.

Good winning chances
The French Loto is not only popular because of the great Jackpot. The winning chance of 1:16 is important for the popularity of this lottery as well. A winning chance of 1:16 is actually quite good, compared to other lotteries. Winners don’t even have to pay taxes, which makes this lottery different from the Powerball Lottery. One of these winners was a factory worker from the French city of Montpellier. He won the Jackpot not once, but twice! In 1996 a few million French Francs were added to his bank account, about 2.8 million euros. Funny enough the millionaire decided not to quit playing. He loved it so much that the played again with the same numbers. They definitely were his lucky numbers, because in 2011 he won the Jackpot of 3 million dollars!

New millionaires
You think that the story of the French factory worker is too good to be true, but it really happened. He’s not even the luckiest player, because that’s the person who won the incredible amount of 24 million euros in 2011! He or she became incredible rich with numbers 10, 13,22,30 and 45 and the reserve number 1. The second highest Jackpot hit fell in May 2014, when someone won 23 million euros with just one ticket. In this case 8, 9, 40, 41, 49 and 3 were the lucky numbers.

Fraud and fraud

Lottery, like any other type of gambling, susceptible to fraud, despite the high degree of care, declared by the organizers. There are numerous lottery scams .

Some types of online prepaid scams are lottery-based. Scam starts with spam, Congratulations to the recipient on a recent lottery win. The email explains, that in order to free up funds, the recipient of the email must part with a certain amount (in the form of taxes / fees) according to the rules, otherwise there is a risk of confiscation.

Another form of fraud involves the sale of "systems", whose purpose – increase the player's chances of picking winning numbers in the lottery. These scams are usually based on a customer misunderstanding (maybe, and the seller) probability and random numbers. However, the sale of these systems or software is legal, since they mention, that the product cannot guarantee a win, not to mention the jackpot.

There have also been several cases, when cashiers in lottery shops tried to lure their winnings from customers. In some places, the buyer must hand over the lottery ticket to the cashier, to determine, how much did they win, or, if they won at all, the cashier then scans the ticket, to define one or both. In those cases, when the client does not see or hears a signal about the scan results, some cashiers took the opportunity to declare, that the ticket is a loser or that it costs much less, what he is, and offer to "throw it out". “or secretly replace it with another ticket. Then the cashier puts the ticket in his pocket and takes it as his.

In the BBC series "Real vanity" was the lottery variant is shown, in which a group of scammers pretended to be, what won the lottery, but they were prevented from taking the prize, since man, who wrote the name on the back of the ticket, presumably absent. countries on this day. They managed to convince a stranger to deposit money as collateral, to split the prize pool.

In some cases, the lottery itself has been compromised by fraudsters. 1980 Pennsylvania lottery scandal involved weighing balls in . In a fraud scandal Hot Lotto в random number generator Hot Lotto code has been added, allowing a cheater to predict winning numbers on certain days of the year.

IN 2003 year Canadian geological statistician Mohan Srivastava discovered non-random patterns in the tickets "tic-tac-toe", sold by the Lottery and Gaming Corporation of Ontario . Tic-tac-toe was taken off the shelves and became the first game, ever remembered by OLG.

Payout of prizes

Winnings (in USA) not necessarily paid in a lump sum , contrary to the expectations of many lottery participants. In some countries, mainly in the USA, the winner can choose between an annuity payment and a lump sum. One-time payment ( cash or lump sum payment ) represents the "smaller" amount, than announced (annuity) jackpot, even before applying any deductions, to which the prize is subject. While withholdings vary by jurisdiction and how winnings are invested, supposed, what's the winner, chooses a lump sum, expects to receive 13 of the advertised jackpot at the end of the tax year. In this way, jackpot winner 100000000 US dollars, who will pick cash, can count on a net amount of 33 333 333,33 USD after filing tax documents for the year, in which the jackpot was won.

Lottery annuities often range from 20 to 30 years. Some lotteries in the USA, especially those, which offer a "lifetime" prize, don't offer a lump sum option. According to some experts, it is better to choose an annuity, than a lump sum, especially those, who have no investment experience.

In some online lotteries, the annual payout is only 25000 dollars, and in the last year, a one-time payment is paid . This type of installment payment is often done by investing in securities, provided by the state. Online lotteries pay winners through their insurance . However, many winners choose the lump sum, as they think, that they can get a higher rate of return on their investment elsewhere.

In some countries, lottery winnings are not subject to personal income tax , therefore, tax implications should not be considered when choosing a payment method. In France, Canada, Australia, Germany, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Finland and the UK all prizes are immediately paid in a lump sum and are tax-free to the winner. In Liechtenstein, all winnings are tax-free, and the winner can choose to receive a lump sum or annuity in relation to the jackpot prizes.

In the United States, federal courts have consistently asserted, that the lump sum, received from third parties in exchange for rights to lottery annuities, are not capital assets for tax purposes. Rather, the lump sum is subject to normal income tax deductible.

Some people hire a third party, to cash out a lottery ticket. This can be done for, to avoid paying income tax, to hide the gain from alimony or money laundering, obtained from illegal activities; some jurisdictions investigate too frequent "winnings" and may freeze payments, to prevent these abuses.

In jurisdictions, where public disclosure is required for winners, to claim your prizes, some winners may hire an attorney, to create a blind trust for them, so they can claim their prize and remain anonymous. This is for, so that winners can avoid being scammed, jealousy and other flaws, that can occur when winning a lottery jackpot.

Medieval history

First registered lotteries, offering tickets for sale with prizes in the form of money, were held in the Netherlands in 15 century. Public lotteries were held in different cities, to raise money for city fortifications and help the poor. City records of Ghent , Utrecht and Bruges indicate, that lotteries could be even older. Recording from 9 May 1445 of the year at L'Ecluse concerns fundraising for the construction of walls and city fortifications with a draw 4 304 tickets and the total prize fund 1737 florins (worth about 170 000 US dollars in 2014 year). IN 17 century it was common in the Netherlands to organize lotteries to raise money for the poor or to raise funds for all kinds of public needs. Lotteries proved to be very popular and were considered a painless form of taxation . State Dutch State лотерея State Lottery – the oldest lottery. The English word "lottery" comes from the Dutch noun "lot", meaning "destiny".

The first registered Italian lottery was held 9 january 1449 years in Milan, organized by the Golden Ambrosian Republic to finance the war against the Venetian Republic . Nonetheless, it was in genoa , what lotto became very popular. People used to bet on the names of the members of the Great Council, which were chosen randomly , five out of ninety candidates every six months. This type of gambling was called Lotto or Semenaiu . When people wanted to bet more often, than twice a year, they started replacing candidates' names with numbers, and the modern lotto was born, according to which, as modern legal lotteries, so illegal playing with numbers can trace their origin.

Mathematical analysis

Buying lottery tickets cannot be explained by decision models, based on maximizing the expected value . The reason is, that lottery tickets cost more, than the expected gain, as the mathematical lottery shows , so someone, maximizing expected value, must not buy lottery tickets. Nonetheless, lottery purchases can be explained by decision models, based on maximizing expected utility , since the curvature of the utility function can be adjusted to track behavior, risk seeking. More general models, based on utility functions, specific for things, different from the lottery results, can also take into account lottery purchases. Beyond lottery prizes, the ticket may allow some shoppers to experience the thrill and fantasize about, how to get rich. If the value of entertainment (or other non-monetary value), resulting from the game, high enough for a given person, then buying a lottery ticket can mean a gain in overall utility . In such a case, the futility of the monetary loss may be outweighed by the combined expected utility of the monetary and non-monetary gain., what makes buying a rational decision for that person.

The odds of winning the lottery jack – sweat can vary widely depending on the design of the lottery, and are determined by several factors, including counting possible numbers, counting winning numbers drawn, is it important for, and whether drawn numbers will be returned to allow further drawing.

In simple lotto 6 of 49 the player selects six numbers from 1 to 49 (repetition is not allowed). If all six numbers on a player's ticket match, received in the official drawing (regardless of order, in which numbers are drawn), then the player becomes the owner of the jackpot. For such a lottery, the chance of winning the jackpot is 1 to 13 983 816.

In bonus ball lotteries, where the bonus ball is required, chances are often even lower.

+ Why did I not receive a France Lotto Raffle code when I purchased my tickets online?

The France Lotto Raffle may be unavailable for certain international players buying tickets online, as it can only be entered by residents of France or by players who participate using a lottery concierge service. See the page for more information about concierge services.

+ What changes were made in November 2019?

The 2nd tirage was introduced ahead of the draw on Monday 4th November 2019 to give players an additional chance to win prizes up to €100,000. The prize structure for the main Lotto game also switched from giving away fixed awards in all divisions to a pari-mutuel system. It was also announced that more special draws would take place in future, where the jackpot is increased to a guaranteed amount such as €10 million or €13 million.
