On Saturday, February 8, 2025, the French Loto drawing took place, offering players the chance to win a substantial jackpot of €6 million. Unfortunately, no player succeeded in claiming the jackpot this week, leaving many eager for the next opportunity.
The winning numbers drawn were 11, 26, 42, 43, 49, with the bonus number being 8. This was not the first time the jackpot went unclaimed; prior results had seen equally large prizes draw attention without yielding winners. With the absence of jackpot winners, the prize will roll over and increase for the next drawing, scheduled for Monday, February 10, 2025, now estimated at €7 million.
Alongside the main draw, players also had options to participate in the '2nd draw' feature, which saw additional numbers called: 4, 24, 27, 28, 40. This diversification of lottery gameplay allows players multiple avenues to secure winnings, even when the top prize eludes them.
Despite no premier winner from the February 8 draw, other players were not left empty-handed. Twenty-nine participants successfully matched four numbers and the bonus, earning €10,461.90 each. Seizing on smaller wins can be just as thrilling for players, fueling the excitement surrounding the lottery.
The lottery setup allows for various play methods. Participants can fill out their tickets by selecting 5 numbers from 1 to 49, along with one bonus number. A standard ticket costs €2.20, but players can opt for the '2nd draw' for an additional €0.80 to increase their chances of earning prizes from the supplementary draw.
Players are reminded to check their tickets thoroughly, and numerous codes worth €20,000 are drawn, providing additional opportunities for winnings. The lucky winning codes from this draw are as follows:

With three draws each week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, players have ample opportunity to engage with the game. The anticipation builds for the next draw, where hopes are high for hitting the jackpot. Interested participants are encouraged to submit their entries by 8:15 PM on draw days.
To keep up with the Loto's outcomes, results will be available shortly after the draw, typically around 8:40 PM on the official FDJ website and media channels, including TF1.
Many players look toward statistical advice when choosing their numbers. Popular picks include analyzing historically 'lucky' numbers, but as always with lotteries, outcomes remain unpredictable, and the element of chance plays heavily. Recommendations for the upcoming draw suggest numbers like 47, 18, 12, 49, and 15, with suggestions for the 'chance' number being 1.
For those interested in participating, accessing the Loto is straightforward, with tickets available at various retail outlets and online platforms. The option to play online continues to grow, allowing players to place their bets from the comfort of their homes.
While engaging with lottery play can be entertaining, stakeholders must remain aware of the potential risks related to gambling. Authorities encourage responsible gaming practices and recommend contacting support services if gambling becomes problematic.
The excitement for the Loto continues to grow, especially as the stakes increase with each unclaimed jackpot. Players should be vigilant and informed about the rules and odds involved, as they gear up for the chance at life-changing numbers.
With each draw, the hope of becoming the next winner persists. Players will undoubtedly be tuned in as the next draw approaches, eager to try their luck once again.
