Lottery nights, French style, from a couch in Soweto or a flat in Bellville. That is the appeal of the France Loto 5/49 on YesPlay: same European draw, but your picks and payouts happen in rands and right on your phone. A lot of South Africans tend to stick to one or two Lucky Numbers games that they are familiar with. France Loto is an awesome option because the rules are simple, and there are plenty of side bets to keep things interesting.
Quick Facts
France Loto is a 5 from 49 draw. But wait, there’s more, you also get an extra bonus ball, which makes things even more exciting. The draws happen three times a week, and YesPlay uses the results of those draws for settling bets. On the France Loto page you’ll see the odds for calling 1, 2, 3, or 4 numbers, and other stuff like odd or even totals and even divisible numbers.
Why Locals Care
France Loto is perfect for fitting into our hectic South African routines. You can place your bets after work, see the results right away, and check other scores too. There’s no need to wait in those long queues, no need for paper slips, and no need to worry about a ticket fading after you accidentally put it in the washing machine with your jeans. The odds are fixed, so you’ll always know how much you could win if your bet is successful. If you feel like checking out the current prices or just want a deeper look at the market, you can simply read more on YesPlay Lucky Numbers tab.
This game will suit anyone, but keep in mind that you should keep it nice and slow. Stick to the smallest possible bets, like R19 on one or two draws a week, or push a bit higher on Friday night only, but always know how much you’re spending.
Keeping Your Edge
France Loto is all about keeping things simple. Stick to those small bets that seem boring, but will get the job done. Also, keep track of your picks and figure out whether you enjoy picking single numbers, which payout less or small clusters which have bigger multipliers. By doing so, France Loto will always be a fun experience and even a bad run won’t hurt your bank account too much.
