Loto and Euromillions:5 things to know to win the lottery

Do you know how likely we are to win the lottery? Do you know which numbers fall most often in the lottery? Here are 5 things to know about Lotto and Euromillions.

Read the article carefully until the end, because I will give you the most often drawn numbers...

1. How likely are you to win the lottery?

You have a better chance of being hit by an asteroid (1/720,000) or being struck by lightning (1/250,000) than winning the lottery. Yeah it starts strong.

Let's get out the calculator!

LOTTO:For optimists, you have a 1 in 19,068,840 chance, or 0.000,005%, of winning. Or for those who see the glass as half empty:a probability of losing of 99.999 995%

EUROMILLIONS is even worse:1 chance in 139,838,160 or 0.000,000 72%. That's for the jackpot.

But in real life there is a way to win a little Loto. There is a 1 in 6 chance of being paid or reimbursed. For the Euromillions, it's a chance in 13.

2. The biggest win in history:200 million euros in EuroMillions

It happened not long ago on December 11, 2020. And it was a Frenchman (obviously anonymous, the guy is not crazy, he feels the crevards coming) who won the stone. At the Loto, the record is only 24 million euros and it still stands since 2011. 24 Million, I also take it personally.

3. Loto was created (in part) by Jacques Chirac…


Well it was not he who had the idea, but it was he who signed the decree authorizing the creation of the Loto in 1975. Before there was the “national lottery” created by the broken faces, the wounded of the 1st World War, but it was a raffle that no longer interested too much. There, you can choose your numbers and win more. Almost immediate success thanks to advertising! Today 15 million French people play every week, i.e. more than one in five French people!

4. When you win the lottery you don't pay taxes but...

Yes, because there is always a but, a little hidden socket, you know. Well if you win, it's not considered income so it's not taxable, but if you use the money to buy an apartment, set up your company or make a donation to your family, there... He there is always a small tax that exists to take part of it from you.

5. Here are the numbers that fall most often in the lottery

Get ready, take a pen and write it down. (Everything I'm going to say is true, it comes from the direct FDJ)
7 - 30 - 48 - 10 - 29 - 26 - 9 (lucky number)

Conversely, those that fall the least are 2, 3, 18 and 24.

Now do what you want with it, but if you win, do a bit of a bite.
