Game principle

Loto is a French lottery at the initiative of the Française des jeux (fdj). The game principle is to select 5 numbers ranging from 1 to 50 and 1 star ranging from 1 to 10 to generate a Loto grid. The money collected for each grid helps create a jackpot, part of which is redistributed to the winners of each draw according to the probability of winning. logo_loto

Taxation

Winnings from games like Loto do not need to be declared for taxes in France and are therefore not taxed. However, the annual interest from winnings placed in a bank is taxable like any other investment. Additionally, if the winner wishes to share part of their winnings with their relatives, it is considered a manual gift for tax purposes, and the taxation can be heavy depending on the relationship between the donor and the beneficiary.

Why use PimpMyLuck to determine my Loto numbers ?

PimpMyLuck is based on a mathematical algorithm that generates a sequence of 5 Loto numbers (1 to 50) and 1 Loto lucky number (1 to 10). Unlike most generators that are random, PimpMyLuck is deterministic based on your birth dates and those of a close person. This means that the Loto numbers played depend on these dates and are therefore unique to you (unless someone else shares the same birth date as you and the linked person). Additionally, PimpMyLuck incorporates a time variable that allows your personalized Loto numbers to vary each week. Instead of playing randomly in Loto, play your personalized PimpMyLuck numbers.
