This Saturday evening, March 19, a Loto draw may allow a Frenchman to walk away with a super jackpot of 15 million euros. As a bonus, these are no less than 10 people who will be drawn and who will leave with a check for 20,000 euros. The “2nd draw” option then gives you access to a potential jackpot of 100,000 euros. In the end, you therefore have several chances to win a significant gain via this draw.
By default, the minimum amount put into play is 2 million per Lotto draw. If no winner is found, the jackpot increases by one million euros. In other words, to arrive at 15 million euros, it is necessary that during 13 consecutive draws, nobody finds the good association. This is precisely what has just happened and you therefore have the chance to walk away with this XXL jackpot.
Admittedly, the Lotto draw amount is not as huge as that of EuroMillions. However, there are two points to keep in mind: the probability of winning is greater (about 7 times) and the cost is also lower. A Loto grid costs 2.20 euros – knowing that it is in your interest to play the secondary draw which costs 0.80 euro.
The Loto draw takes place three times a week: Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. This Saturday evening, March 19, at 8:20 p.m., it is therefore a nice jackpot that can fall. It is very rare for the Lotto jackpot to reach such a high level. The two side games allow you to increase the probability of your winnings.
Why play Lotto on the internet?
There are several ways to enter the Loto draw. Historically, the French went to their tobacconist to gamble: it is always possible. However, it develops more and more the game on the internet. Via the official FDJ website or via the app, you can open an account in just a minute. This then allows you to place your bet on any FDJ game, including Loto.
With just a few clicks, you can access the Loto, for example. You can then tick the 5 numbers (among 49 numbers) and the lucky number (among 10) from your interface. If you want to tick more, the price will be updated in real time to give you the final price of the grid. Inevitably, the more boxes you tick, the more the probability of winning increases.
When you play the Loto draw online, you also have several advantages: you have access to an exclusive service such as MultiChances, you can see in preview if you have won a prize, and above all you will not lose your paper ticket. For those who are too lazy to leave home to play, it’s also the easy way to play without moving.
Whether at a tobacconist or on the internet, you can place your bet until Saturday evening at 8:15 p.m. The draw takes place at 8:20 p.m., immediately after. You should know that this draw is carried out under the supervision of a bailiff. In addition, each of the Loto draws is independent: it is not because numbers were drawn during the previous draw that they will not fall this time. And vice versa.
The different chances of winning
As we explained above, you have several possibilities to win this Saturday evening. The first chance is via the main Lotto draw. There are 15 million euros to be won for whoever finds the right combination. If the probability of finding the latter is low, you also have the possibility of winning with the intermediate ranks.
Then there is the 2nd draw option which costs 0.80 euro. This option gives you access to a second draw: your 5 basic numbers are kept and there is a new draw. If your combination turns out to be the right one, you walk away with a check for 100,000 euros. For all those who play Loto, you have every interest in participating in this second draw. You have a 1 in 4 chance of winning something.
Finally, there is a final draw that will guarantee 10 winners. As you have probably understood, it is possible that nobody wins anything in the classic Loto draw and this 2nd draw option. On the other hand, FDJ guarantees 10 winners up to 20,000 euros each. For a Lotto participation ticket, you will receive a random code. If the latter is one of the 10 codes drawn by FDJ, you leave with this amount.
If you don’t want to risk everything on a single Loto draw grid, we advise you to go with the MultiChances option. This is a feature only available on the FDJ site (or applications). For example, you buy a share (at 4.40 euros) to have exposure to 100 simple Loto grids (and also 100 codes). If one of the grids is a winner, you will share the winnings with other players.
