Every France game on this site, ranked by top-prize odds, with the tax rules and the regulator. All odds derived from the published rules.
| Game | Top-prize odds | Any-prize odds | Ticket | Cost per unit of jackpot chance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Loto (France) | 1 in 19,068,840 | 1 in 5.99 | €2.20 | 41,951,448 EUR |
Shorter odds are not automatically better value — shorter-odds games pay smaller top prizes. Cost per unit of chance (price × odds) is the cleanest single comparison.
FDJ lottery winnings (Loto, EuroMillions, scratch cards) are free of income tax in France — the advertised prize is paid in full. Once invested, the winnings generate income and wealth that are taxed under normal French rules, including social charges on investment income.
FDJ does not disclose winners' identities publicly without their consent.
60 days from the draw date for FDJ draw-game prizes.
