About France Lotto

France Lotto (Loto in France) is the national lottery run by FDJ, La Française des Jeux. Draws are held three times a week, on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday evenings. Each line is five main numbers from 1 to 49 plus one Lucky Number (Numéro Chance) from 1 to 10.

Many players in South Africa call the Lucky Number the "France Powerball". Match all five main numbers and the Lucky Number to win the jackpot, which starts at €2 million and rolls over when nobody wins it. The odds of the jackpot are 1 in 19,068,840.

Ticket sales in France close at 20:15 Paris time on draw days, and results normally follow later that evening. Paris is on the same time as South Africa from late March to late October; in winter it is an hour behind, so the draw is an hour later in SAST.

Tickets in France can add a second draw (the "2nd tirage"), which some sites call "France Lotto Plus". It uses its own five numbers and no Lucky Number. The results on this page are the main draw.

France Lotto questions

When is the France Lotto draw?

Every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday evening. Ticket sales close at 20:15 Paris time — 20:15 in South Africa from late March to late October, and 21:15 SAST in winter.

What is the France Powerball?

It is the name many South African players use for the Lucky Number (Numéro Chance): one extra number from 1 to 10, drawn with the five main numbers. It is shown in yellow in the results above.

What is France Lotto Plus?

Usually the French "2nd tirage": an optional second draw of five numbers (no Lucky Number) that French ticket holders can add. Our results are for the main draw, which decides the jackpot.

What are the odds of winning the France Lotto jackpot?

1 in 19,068,840 — you need all five main numbers (1 in 1,906,884) and the Lucky Number (1 in 10).

Are bookmaker "France Lotto" bets the same as the lottery?

No. South African bookmakers offer fixed-odds bets on the outcome of the French draw ("lucky numbers" betting). Bets on the main draw are settled on the official numbers, but the payouts are the bookmaker’s odds, not the French prize table — and bookmakers’ own extra draws (such as “lunchtime” games) are not FDJ draws at all.
