Française Des Jeux Loto Draw Offers 2 Million Euro Jackpot

On Saturday, April 5, 2025, the Française des Jeux (FDJ) held the highly anticipated Loto draw, offering participants a chance to win a life-changing jackpot of 2 million euros. This draw marked the third and final Loto event of the week, following draws on Monday and Wednesday.

To play Loto, participants select five numbers from a grid of 49 and one "Chance" number from a grid of 10. The cost of a simple grid is 2.20 euros, while opting for the second draw option costs an additional 0.80 euros, bringing the total to 3 euros. The draw took place at 20:48, and the winning numbers announced were 8, 14, 22, 27, 30, with the Chance number being 7.

In this draw, no player managed to match all six winning numbers. However, six lucky players did find the five main numbers plus the Chance number, each winning 34,071.80 euros. Additionally, 120 players matched four numbers and the Chance number, taking home 415.80 euros each. The results for the second draw, which is an optional play, were 14, 21, 29, 38, and 49.

For those who participated, the excitement didn’t end there. The FDJ also announced a Loto code that guarantees 1 million euros to a player in France, regardless of whether they matched any winning numbers. This code, known as Joker+, was drawn and the number was 7 196 936. Furthermore, ten additional codes were drawn, each winning 20,000 euros. The winning codes were A 9384 1194, B 2254 1996, P 4649 6501, Q 8366 8926, A 5993 6329, J 4727 8593, L 2736 3696, T 8872 7885, Q 2035 8571, and O 7286 8680.

Looking ahead, the next Loto draw is scheduled for Monday, April 7, 2025, with a jackpot expected to rise to 3 million euros. This increase is due to the previous jackpot of 12 million euros being won, which resets the jackpot to its initial value of 2 million euros. If no one wins again, the amount will continue to grow in subsequent draws.

Players are encouraged to check their tickets either online, through the FDJ app, or at retail locations to see if they have won. Results are typically available shortly after the draw, and players have 60 days to claim any winnings. The FDJ reminds participants that while playing can be exciting, it also carries risks, including potential addiction and financial loss.

As the Loto continues to attract thousands of players each week, many use various strategies to increase their chances of winning. Some players rely on statistics, noting that certain numbers are drawn more frequently than others. Since November 2019, for example, the number 1 has been drawn only 38 times, while the number 3 has appeared 45 times. Such insights can help players make informed choices when selecting their numbers, though ultimately, Loto remains a game of chance.

In summary, the Loto draw on April 5, 2025, brought excitement and anticipation to many, with significant prizes up for grabs. As players look forward to the next draw, the hope of hitting the jackpot continues to inspire dreams and aspirations across the nation.
