Presentation : Loto Foot

THE GRID

« LOTO FOOT »  is a game of predictions on football matches organised by the public company La Française des jeux.
The grid is made up of 14 matches (sometimes 15 matches).
The number of possible combinations is 4 782 969.
The ticket given to players contains eight columns.

THE PREDICTIONS

The player must make a prediction for the whole set of matches that make up the grid. The principle is to tick at least one box for each match of the grid.

The three possible boxes are:

• 1: box 1 is used for designating the home team as the winner.
• N: box N is used for assigning a draw game between the two teams.
• 2: box 2 is used for designating the visiting team as the winner.

The player has multiple types of predictions at his disposal:

• Single prediction: The player has to tick a single box among the three possible choices.
• Double prediction: This offers the player the possibility of ticking two boxes out of the three.
• Triple prediction: By ticking all the three possible boxes, the player so guarantees the result of the match.

All matches are based on the results at the end of regulation time including any additional time. The possible extra time or penalty kicks will not be taken in account.

THE COST OF THE COMBINATIONS

The player can make a single prediction on the various columns of the same ticket.
The cost of a single combination is 1 EUR (Euro). The minimum stake is that of one combination.
The player can also make on the same ticket one or more double predictions and/or one or more triple predictions.

The possible combinations of double and/or triple predictions that are authorised are the following:

The lottery machine will reject any ticket that has columns filled out with a number of unauthorised doubles or triples.
