Unlike EuroMillions, whose jackpot is based on players' bets, Loto follows its path at a senator's train, climbing from million euros to million euros, as long as no one has ticked the five right ones. numbers and lucky number.
The incredible streak of 13 winless draws finally came to an end on Saturday, with a € 26million winner.
With the winning combination: 5, 3, 49, 33, 15 and, as a lucky number, 8.
The chosen one, on whom we have no details, becomes the biggest winner in the history of the national lottery created in 1976, 10 years after a gain of 24,000,008 euros recorded in Sarcelles (Val- of Oise).
The 26 million are of course very far from the 200 million won at EuroMillions by a retired player from the South of France last December.
This dizzying sum would still allow the lucky one to acquire more than 1,600 new Dacia Logan or to touch more than 60,000 euros per month of interest, without touching the capital, with investments at an interest rate of 3%.
As long as you make yourself known within the next 60 days.
72 million raised since the launch of the "Heritage Mission"
This record jackpot is also a good thing for the 100 sites selected this year as part of the Heritage Loto.
The amount donated is in fact indexed to the number of grids played.
This Wednesday's draw was the second in a series of six where 54 cents are donated to the Heritage Foundation for each grid at 2.20 euros.
A godsend when you know that an event draw attracts 4 to 5 million players (a Friday the 13th or the Christmas draw, for example), against 2 million for a standard draw.
"The more the amount of the pot increases, the more the number of players is important", confirms the FDJ, without being able to indicate the number of tickets validated at the beginning of the week.
72 million euros have been collected since the launch of the “Heritage Mission” in 2018, notably under the leadership of Stéphane Bern.
