Every week, millions of French people watch the LOTO draw on their screens, never catching a glimpse of what's happening behind the camera. This fall, the Française des Jeux is lifting the mystery by welcoming the general public for the very first time backstage on its sets. A rare opportunity to explore a usually ultra-secure location and learn more about how a true popular institution works.


An unprecedented immersion at the heart of the game

Whether you're an occasional player or a devoted ticket holder, this one-and-a-half-hour visit will reveal everything hidden behind your favorite appointment. From the history of LOTO from its beginnings to today, including the behind-the-scenes technology manufacturing, impenetrable security systems and the different roles on the set: the Française des Jeux will have no more secrets for you.

Explore places usually closed to the public, admire the iconic objects

of the show and chat directly with the teams on set to discover what their day-to-day life is like. Once you arrive on the filming set, you can even step into a presenter's shoes and take part in interactive activities to try your luck at winning prizes.


50 years of history to celebrate

This unprecedented event marks a symbolic milestone. During the very first draw on May 19, 1976, 73,680 tickets had been sold. Fifty years later, more than 6 out of 10 French people have already tried their luck, and nearly 5 million tickets are validated at each draw.

To take part in this unique experience, join us on Saturday September 19, from 9am to 4pm, or Sunday September 20, from 9am to 6pm. Registration opens from September 1st for groups of 4 to 25 people. Be warned, though: with limited spots available, you'll need to act fast to secure your place in this experience!
