The deadline to participate in the upcoming Loto draw is 8:15 PM on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, to register selections, according to the Française des Jeux (FDJ).
For first-time participants, the FDJ offers several avenues for entry: the official website fdj.fr, the FDJ application, or authorized retailers including newsstands and tobacconists.
Participation requires selecting five numbers from a grid totaling 49, in addition to a “chance number” between 1 and 10. Players can opt for multiple grids to increase their number selections, or choose additional options such as a second draw, subscription services, “Multichance,” and “Joker+.” The total cost of participation is calculated based on the number of additional selections and options chosen.
Each grid purchase automatically generates a unique Loto code. Ten codes will be randomly drawn during the next draw, with each winning code receiving a prize of €20,000.
Loto draws are regularly scheduled on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, though the schedule may be subject to change for exceptional draws.
On Monday, March 2, 2026, the Loto jackpot reached €6 million. The winning combination was 19, 20, 34, 37, and 40, with a chance number of 6. No players matched all six numbers, and the jackpot remains unclaimed. However, one player secured approximately €107,000 in the second draw by matching the numbers 3, 19, 28, 36, and 39. Twenty-three participants each won €7,870 in the third prize tier.
