France Loto 5/49 can become easy once you decide what kind of bet you want to place. No need to waste your time thinking you’re going to be cracking any secret codes. Find the bet you can live with even if you end up losing. On YesPlay, France Loto can be found under Lucky Numbers, which is where you’ll find everything you need. Numbers, odd or even counts, low and high combos, divisible picks and even separate bonus ball options. Try to pick a lane first, or you might just end up picking whatever sounds cool and then staring at your account balance, wondering what happened.

Choose your lane

If you want to keep it safe, it’s better to stick to the broad markets. Betting on odd or even numbers or the lowest/highest balls is a much safer and less risky choice. This isn’t the same as begging for an exact combination.

If you want more risk, then go for the “numbers (bonus ball excluded)” and choose a small cluster, but be prepared to be in it for the long haul. You can see the ladder on this website without having to look around.

And of course, we can’t forget about the big prize chase, after all, it is the main reason why people enjoy betting on the lottery. Matching the numbers and the bonus ball might be very tempting to chase after. But chasing them every draw is a very fast way to lose all of your money while sitting there waiting for something to finally happen.

Read the odds

Looking at the odds on the France Loto page can be misleading. While you may think that they are good, they actually tell you how hard it is to win. Your odds will depend on your number selection. Pick just one number and your odds will be 9.00. Picking two numbers will boost it to 111.00, while three numbers will give you odds of 1,601.00.
