France, Canada and Romania host multi‑million lottery draws in late July 2026

France’s national lottery, the Loto, held its Saturday draw on 25 July 2026 with a €2 million jackpot. Players selected five numbers between 1‑49 plus a “Chance” number; the draw was overseen by a bailiff and the results were to be posted after 20:30. An astrology‑focused article linked the draw to zodiac signs, noting that Lions, Pisces, Sagittarius and Taurus were deemed especially lucky for this jackpot.

In Canada, a group of nine players from Laval and the Laurentides split a CAD 25 million Lotto Max jackpot from the 10 July draw, each holding a $2.5 million share purchased at a convenience store in Chomedey.

Romania’s Loto 6/49 draw on 26 July 2026 carried a roll‑over of more than €8.6 million (45 million lei). The winning numbers were announced alongside prize breakdowns for Joker, Noroc and other games.

Mauritius’ 1251st Loto and Loto Plus draw produced no jackpot winner, causing the combined jackpots to roll over to a total of 66 million rupees. Winning numbers for both games were published.

All draws attracted thousands of participants and generated multi‑million‑euro or dollar prizes across the four jurisdictions.
