Française des Jeux announces 3‑million‑euro Lotto jackpot for July 27 2026 draw

The French national lottery operator, Française des Jeux (FDJ), held its regular Lotto draw on Monday, 27 July 2026. The jackpot reached €3 million after the previous draw produced no top‑prize winner, offering a chance for a new millionaire.

The draw took place at approximately 20:35, with six winning numbers and a complementary “numero chance” announced shortly after. While the odds of hitting the main prize remain around one in 19 million, thousands of players received smaller winnings ranging from €13.60 to €110 157. Retail points such as tobacconists saw a surge in ticket sales as the large prize attracted widespread participation across France.
