FDJ Sets Nov. 8 Start for 'Crescendo,' a €1 Saturday Draw With Rolling Jackpot Up to €700,000

Française des Jeux frames the new game as a frequent-win option to drive store traffic under ANJ scrutiny of rapid draw formats.

Overview

  • Tickets go on sale in France on Nov. 3 at retail points of sale, with the first seven Saturday draws scheduled for Nov. 8.
  • Players choose 10 numbers from 1 to 25 for €1, with a jackpot that starts at €100,000 and increases by €100,000 each hour up to €700,000.
  • If no jackpot is won earlier in the day, the seventh draw is guaranteed to be won or shared, according to Tirage Gagnant’s reporting.
  • The game includes nine additional prize tiers that raise win frequency, including a minimum €1 refund in certain match combinations.
  • Jackpot odds are 1 in 3,268,760, which specialized outlets say is roughly six times better than Loto and 43 times better than EuroMillions.
