Loto Draw Offers 10 Million Euro Jackpot This Easter

On Saturday, April 19, 2025, the French Lottery, known as Loto, conducted its latest draw, offering participants a chance to win a staggering jackpot of 10 million euros. This draw was particularly special as it coincided with the Easter celebrations, prompting the Française des Jeux (FDJ) to boost the jackpot for the occasion. Players were required to select five numbers from a grid of 49 and one Chance number from a grid of 10, with a ticket costing 2.20 euros.

The winning numbers for this draw were 11, 16, 19, 20, 32, and the Chance number was 6. Unfortunately, no player matched all the winning numbers, but one lucky individual managed to match five numbers without the Chance number, earning a substantial prize of 299,942 euros. Additionally, 66 players matched four numbers, each winning 1,109.20 euros.

For those who opted for the second draw option, the winning numbers were 4, 8, 11, 21, and 30. Moreover, the FDJ drew ten winning codes, each entitling the holder to a prize of 20,000 euros. The codes were A 1646 0453, B 1463 9656, C 8983 1966, I 2289 3768, J 1830 8269, O 0840 1608, P 1053 7394, P 1073 3170, R 0849 4757, and R 1273 2105.

Looking ahead, the next Loto draw is scheduled for Monday, April 21, 2025, where the jackpot will increase to 11 million euros. The FDJ has a history of generating excitement among lottery players, and this upcoming draw is expected to attract many eager participants.

Since its inception, the Loto has been one of France's most popular lottery games, with players often strategizing their number selections based on statistical trends. Between 2019 and 2022, certain numbers appeared more frequently, including the number 22, which was drawn 63 times, followed closely by the number 26 at 61 times, and number 31 at 60 times. In the realm of Chance numbers, number 9 led the pack with 59 draws, while number 10 followed with 55.

As always, it's essential for players to remember that while the Loto offers the thrill of potentially winning life-changing sums of money, it is fundamentally a game of chance. The FDJ encourages responsible gaming, reminding players of the risks associated with gambling, including financial loss and addiction. Players must be at least 18 years old to participate, and resources for support are available through platforms like joueurs-info-service.fr.
