How does betting on the French Lotto at Lottoland work?
Instead of entering the official French Lotto draw, you place a bet on the outcome of it. You pick the numbers you think will be drawn in the same way as if you had entered the official lottery draw. At Lottoland, you win the same prize money for each prize tier that the official lottery operator offers, including the jackpot, and you receive your prize money as if you had actually played the official lottery.
How do I choose a line and play?
To get a ticket for this draw, select 5 numbers from the main pool of 1–49 and a further lucky number from a pool of 1–10. You can also select the QuickPick option (Quick+1) which will automatically select numbers. After this click Submit. This will take you through to a checkout — at this stage just click Confirm and proceed to get your ticket.
How do I win the Jackpot?
You will win our jackpot if your 5 main numbers and bonus number is the same as that in the official French Lotto draw.
Can I win all the same prizes playing with Lottoland?
You can win all the same main game prizes playing with us as you would in the official draw, including the jackpot.
How much does it cost?
A single line costs US$3.20. A line with the DoubleJackpot feature costs US$6.40.
How does the DoubleJackpot feature work?
The DoubleJackpot feature allows you to play for twice the official lottery jackpot. So, for instance, if the official French Lotto draw is €6 million (US$ equivalent) and you play with us and activate the DoubleJackpot feature, you can potentially win €12 million (US$ equivalent). The prizes for all other tiers will remain the same.
You will pay double the price of your normal line to activate the DoubleJackpot feature. So, if you wish to play the French Lotto with this feature you'll pay US$6.40, instead of US$3.20.
When does the draw take place?
The French Lottery draw takes place every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 8:20 pm CET.

Is the payout guaranteed? How do I know?
At Lottoland we can guarantee you will be paid out on your winnings - regardless of the jackpot amount.At Lottoland you bet on the outcome of the official draw. For all intents and purposes you will have the exact same customer experience as if you were playing the official lottery. The key difference is that we take your bet and we pay you if you win. We are able to achieve this in two ways.
For smaller prize tier payments we make the payment directly from the fund we have from the total ticket sales.
In order for us to make the larger prize tier payments we take out insurance policies to cover the eventuality of a Jackpot win or a substantial payout on the Lotto ticket. Part of the Lotto ticket price you pay goes towards the payment of this policy.
We are registered with and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission, the Gibraltar Gambling Commission, and the Revenue Commissioners in Ireland. In order for us to retain these licences we have to prove that we are able to make the required payouts to our players should they win and that we have the correct procedures in place to guarantee this.
What is a Subscription?
Subscriptions remove the hassle of manually entering lines on each event and the fear of missing out on a big win. Our Subscription feature allows you to set up a running ticket or tickets on a given lottery draw. The subscription is open ended and will run for as long as you want it too. You can opt out at any time.
