The French national lottery operator, Française des Jeux (FDJ), has released a statistical breakdown of major jackpot winners in 2025, revealing which zodiac signs are most frequently associated with winning significant prizes. People born under Cancer accounted for the highest count. Those totals do not establish the odds of winning for any zodiac sign. [1]
According to the FDJ's analysis, a total of 452 jackpots worth 500,000 euros or more were won across the lottery’s various games during 2025. If winning distribution were perfectly equal across all twelve zodiac signs, one would expect roughly 37 to 38 winners per sign. However, the results differ from that equal-count benchmark. The sign of Cancer, covering birthdays between June 21 and July 22, leads the rankings with 51 jackpot winners. This is followed by Taurus (April 21 – May 20) with 45 winners, and Gemini (May 21 – June 20) with 42 winners. [1]
At the opposite end of the spectrum, those born under the sign of Pisces (February 19 – March 20) appear least frequently among major winners, with only 27 recorded cases. Femme Actuelle pointed to differences in birth counts as a possible explanation. It cited Insee data showing July was among the two months with the most births since 1985. [1]
Historical birth figures show a shift from a May peak in the 1970s to more births in summer in later decades. February, a shorter month, typically records fewer births. Femme Actuelle stresses that lottery results cannot be predicted from a player’s zodiac sign. [1]
