The Crescendo lottery, operated by Française des Jeux (FDJ), held its draws on Saturday, February 21, 2026, with a maximum prize pool of 700,000 euros. While no one won the top prize, two significant jackpots were claimed: a single player won 300,000 euros at the 3 PM draw, and the 400,000 euro jackpot at the 7 PM draw was shared among lower-tier winners as no one matched the winning combination. Crescendo, launched on November 8, 2025, features hourly draws from 1 PM to 7 PM, with jackpots starting at 100,000 euros and accumulating by 100,000 euros each hour if not won, up to the 700,000 euro cap. The game's mechanics have prompted the Autorité nationale du jeu to monitor it for potential addiction risks.
