This Friday, March 6, the Euro Millions brings into play a jackpot of 193 million euros. On the Loto side, the draw on Saturday March 7 offers 8 million euros. If you want to try your luck, Française des Jeux regularly publishes statistics on its Loto draws. The opportunity for budding statisticians to discover which numbers are most likely to fall in the next drawing.

Here are the luckiest Loto numbers

Since the launch of modern Loto in 2008, the FDJ has compiled precise data on the number release frequencies, accessible on its official website. These statistics cover millions of grids and thousands of prints. In February 2026, for example, numbers like 41, 13 or 22 show record appearances.

41: More than 280 releases, an absolute record, present in 16% of prints
13 : 265 apparitions
22 : 260 sorties
35 : 258 sorties
15 : 255 sorties

For Chance numbers, it is the 7 which leads the dance with 180 outputs, followed by the 5 and the 9. These trends are verified in the latest draws: on February 18, the combination 4-16-22-25-36 + 7 made a jackpot of 2 million euros.

Pay attention to the probabilities

We remind you: these figures in no way influence future draws. Each ball is equipped with an anti-memory system, guaranteeing total independence at each extraction via machines certified by the ANJ (National Games Authority). Which does not prevent players from regularly trying their luck with “fetish” numbers. The FDJ also warns consumers: playing on the stats does not boost the chances (1 in 19 million for rank 1) of winning.

For the most skeptical, just look at the overall draw statistics: out of 5,674,697 entries in the February 18 draw, the distribution remains statistically neutral, validated by bailiffs and the ANJ. No number exceeds 20% deviation from the expected average (around 250 releases each). There is therefore no need to cry manipulation, or to call on ChatGPT to hope to maximize your gains thanks to artificial intelligence. Only luck will allow you to hit the jackpot this year.

Once you have won, don’t forget to declare your winnings to the tax authorities, and share the amounts with your gaming partners, legally optimizing your winnings so that they remain tax-free.
