Lotto is an international game whose principle is simple: the player checks numbers within a grid, and then witnesses the random drawing of balls, each of which bears one of the numbers present in said grid. If the player has checked several numbers which are found in the final drawing, he wins a prize or a sum of money. Generally, when we talk about the lottery in France, we talk about the national Loto organized by the FDJ (Française des jeux). Three draws take place each week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Loto should not be confused with EuroMillions, which is another draw led by the FDJ in France, but which takes place on a European scale: the draws take place on Tuesday and Friday. This guide discusses more widely the tips to have more chances of winning the Loto,but some points may apply to other prints.
The options to have a better chance of winning the FDJ Loto
Standard entry into a Loto draw simply requires completing your online grid and paying for it.
It consists of five numbers and a lucky number (additional number).
If you wish, you can pay extra to add one option, or even more, which can increase your chances of winning.
The MultiChances pack
This pack is not really an option, since it is rather a way of playing Loto.
By choosing this method, your stake is pooled with that of other players who also play in Multi-Chances.
You therefore buy, in partnership with strangers, a pack of charts and codes, paying only part of the bill.
You therefore become a “shareholder” of a lot of 100 or 600 grids and if some of them prove to be winners, you share the winnings with the other participants.
This gives you a better chance of winning, but mostly small sums await you.
The multiple grid
What is the Loto multiple grid?
In practice, the base game includes a simple grid, which you fill out by hand most of the time.
But if you want to increase your chances of winning, you can opt for the multiple grids, which allow you to play up to 9 ticked numbers, and even all the Chance numbers if you bet the maximum amount.
Obviously, you greatly increase your chances of winning, but the budget for playing is not the same.
Loto 2nd draw
The second draw option has been offered for some time by FDJ.
It allows you to reuse your Loto grid a second time for a draw which this time allows you to win a jackpot of at least 100,000 euros.
In this configuration, only the first five numbers are taken into account.
This is an interesting option to increase your chances of winning a large amount of money, and activating it turns out to be inexpensive.
Joker +
By activating the Joker + option, you benefit from a randomly generated combination of seven numbers, which allows you to participate in another draw.
If your combination has the seven numbers drawn in order, then you win 500,000 euros.
You can also win money if you have fewer numbers, but the sum is bound to be lower.
This is another way of trying to win big at the Loto!
Loto: take an interest in statistics to win
There are many studies that focus on the probability of winning Loto, and frankly, the more you look at it, the more you understand that finding the winning combination is a real chance. In concrete terms, you have a one in more than 19 million chance of finding the entire winning combination and winning the jackpot. You have, on the other hand, a one in 16 chance of finding two numbers and refunding your bet, which is enough to motivate you to try your luck anyway.
To manually compose your grid, you can play lucky numbers, such as dates of birth for example. Or you can look at the most drawn numbers: there are websites that highlight the numbers that have been drawn the most in the draws in recent years. In addition, you can also find the list of the numbers which leave the least. Moreover, the FDJ site itself offers a list of numbers that can help you see more clearly.
This information can allow you to compose your own grid taking into account statistical data, if you rather want to rely on this rather than symbolic or lucky numbers.
However, it remains important to keep in mind that the Loto is a game of chance: there is no magic combination allowing to win without fail, and it is especially luck that intervenes.
However, the more gaming options you have and the more regularly you play, the more likely you are to win a good amount of money one day.
All you have to do is try the adventure and play the way you prefer.
