On Saturday, May 10, 2025, millions of hopeful players tuned in to TF1 to check the results of the latest Loto draw, which offered an enticing jackpot of 4 million euros. With dreams of financial freedom dancing in their heads, participants eagerly awaited the announcement of the winning numbers, hoping that their ticket would change their lives forever.
The winning combination revealed during the broadcast was 12, 13, 29, 42, and 49, with the Chance number being 9. Unfortunately, no one managed to match all the numbers, meaning the jackpot will roll over to the next draw, now set at 5 million euros for the upcoming game on Monday, May 12, 2025.
For those who participated in the Loto, there were still opportunities to win smaller prizes. If a player correctly guessed the Chance number, they could win 2.20 euros, just enough to cover the cost of a simple grid. To win a more substantial amount of 50 euros, players needed to match at least three of the drawn numbers along with the complementary number. Four correct numbers would yield approximately 400 euros, and matching four numbers plus the Chance number would net 1,000 euros. Interestingly, players who missed only the complementary number could still walk away with nearly 100,000 euros.
As excitement buzzed around the results, many French citizens participated either online through the FDJ website or at their local tobacco shops. To enter the Loto, players choose five numbers from a pool of 49, along with one Chance number, all for a stake of just 2.20 euros. For an additional 80 cents, players could activate the "2nd draw" option, which provides a second chance to win up to 100,000 euros by re-entering their selected numbers.
The Loto's popularity remains strong, with draws held three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. This frequency gives players multiple chances to win, with the next draw just around the corner. The thrill of the game is palpable, as many players dream of what they would do with their newfound wealth: vacations, cars, and gifts for loved ones.
During the same draw, ten lucky players won 20,000 euros each thanks to the codes printed on their tickets. The winning codes were A 4066 3215, C 8002 3562, G 8813 4283, I 4354 6035, J 6346 4852, K 2198 5388, Q 4458 2758, S 6529 9030, T 1214 8676, and V 1340 4163. This added an extra layer of excitement to the evening, as each ticket holder checked their codes against the winning numbers.
According to statistics, the Loto is a game of chance with approximately 19,068,840 different combinations possible. While the odds may seem daunting, many players continue to try their luck, hoping to be one of the fortunate few. Recent statistics show that the numbers most frequently drawn include 6, 15, 31, 28, and 7, while 49, 4, 29, 32, and 11 have been drawn less often. Interestingly, number 28 hasn’t appeared since March 31!
