On December 23, 2024, the results of the French Loto draw were announced, showcasing the excitement and anticipation surrounding the chance to secure the jackpot of €6 million. For the players eager to see if luck was on their side, the winning numbers were 2, 13, 17, 22, 38, with the Chance number being 7.
Despite the high stakes, there was no jackpot winner for this draw. This outcome means the jackpot resets to its base amount for the next draw, which is €2 million. The previous absence of major winners has, ironically, increased the potential prize for future players drawn to the allure of larger jackpots.
The distribution of smaller prizes, on the other hand, brought good news to numerous participants. Two fortunate players matched five correct numbers—sans the Chance number—each collecting €64,172.70. Meanwhile, 69 players exited with €454 after matching four winning numbers and the Chance number, demonstrating how many can still gain financially from participating, even when the top prize remains elusive.
For those who guessed just three or four numbers correctly, the winnings vary but contribute to keeping the game's spirit alive. A total of 447 players matched four numbers to win €465, and 2,343 players correctly picked three numbers, earning €53 each. The payouts stretched even to the basic matching game: nearly 286,750 players saw their stakes refunded, providing more reasons to keep trying their luck.
While the anticipation builds around the next draw, set for December 24, just one day later, players clearly remain enthusiastic, ready to throw their hats back in the ring for the Grand Loto Christmas draw, where the prize pool promises to swell to €20 million.
The FDJ has consistently seen increased engagement through these draws, especially when prize amounts rise after rollover events like the current one. Players are encouraged to keep track of their tickets as well as the drawn numbers, checking official channels like the TF1 broadcast at 8:35 pm, followed by updates on the fdj.fr website shortly thereafter.

Aside from the thrill of potentially changing one’s life overnight, lottery participation does come with its concerns, as warned by responsible gambling organizations. Players are reminded about the risks associated with gambling, including addiction and financial conflicts, with support resources available for those who may seek help.
Overall, the thrill of the game, coupled with the allure of large jackpots and the opportunity to win smaller amounts, ensures the French Loto remains one of the most popular forms of entertainment across the country.
