This Tuesday, November 5, 108 million euros are up for grabs in the Euromillions. If France is the country in Europe where a player has the best chance of winning the European lottery, not all regions are in the same boat. Here are the ones where you have to play to have the best chance of winning.
A big jackpot that makes you dream. This Tuesday, November 5, Française des Jeux is offering a jackpot of 108 million euros.
When it comes to luck in this game, it seems that certain regions of France are more favored by fate. According to FDJ figures, established in April 2022, Ile-de-France is the luckiest in EuroMillions, with 23 winners or 17% of the total, followed by Provence-Alpes-Côte- d’Azur with 14 lucky winners, and Burgundy-Franche-Comté which has 11 lucky winners.
In contrast, there were very few winners in Centre-Val de Loire (4 winners), Pays de la Loire (3 winners) and Corsica (1 winner).
The French record is 220 million euros
How can this unequal distribution be explained? “The larger the population, the larger the pool of players. There are not particularly regions that are more playful than others,” replied the FDJ to Le Parisien, in a 2022 article.
France, with 67 million inhabitants, is also the most successful country in gambling with 113 EuroMillions winners. The United Kingdom comes second with 114 winners. Spain and its 112 winners complete the podium.
These three countries having founded EuroMillions in 2004, they benefit from a certain advantage over the other participating nations which only joined the draws later.
The largest sum won by a French resident so far is 220 million euros. A jackpot won by a resident of Tahiti, who played the game for the first time in her life.
