Millionaire FDJ: Play and Win with the Illiko Scratch Card Game.

Millionaire FDJ: Play and Win with the Illiko Scratch Card Game

 Renowned in the late 90s, especially thanks to the television show of the same name, Millionaire is an FDJ (La Française des Jeux) scratch card that has since changed its format. It is now part of the very popular Illiko range of games. The spinning wheel is gone, both online and on physical boards, and it now takes the form of a more classic scratch card game. Here’s a closer look at how it works and some tips to help you win money.

Definition and Functioning of the Millionaire Game

 The "Millionaire" is a game of chance under the Illiko brand, sold for a 10-euro stake, making it one of the most expensive in the range. Available at tobacconists and newsagents, it is a 10 cm by 20 cm scratch card. Note that it is also available online, like all other Illiko games.

Under a single ticket, there are actually four games, simple to understand and quick to play:

• The first game is in the form of a wheel divided into six equal parts. You scratch the stars to see if two identical symbols are in the same colored section. If so, you win the associated prize.
• The second game involves revealing the amounts of eight gold bars. If two of them are identical, the player wins that amount.
• The third game requires a bit of thought and involves sapphires and diamonds. The player has three chances to get a diamond with a higher weight than a sapphire. If successful, the player wins the amount indicated.
• The fourth game, similar to the second, involves scratching coins to reveal the symbol of a money bag marked with a “€” sign to win the associated prize.

While relatively classic, these games contain unique logic not found in other scratch cards.
 As its name suggests, Millionaire can potentially win up to €1,000,000 – the minimum being €10, followed by intermediate amounts of €1,000, €10,000, etc.
 The online version works exactly the same way, but it offers an “Auto” function that immediately reveals if your ticket is a winner and how much you’ve won.

Why Choose an Online FDJ Scratch Card Game?

 Although the paper option is more widely used (though it’s declining!), the online version is more eco-friendly (since it doesn't use paper), and it is especially more likely to yield monetary gains. Specifically, the taxes imposed on the paper format do not apply online, allowing the FDJ operator to increase the chances of winning on its internet platform.
 This observation applies not only to Millionaire but generally to the entire scratch card gambling industry.

4 Tips to Win Money

 There is no miracle solution to win money: patience and regular play remain the most important assets. However, some tips can help you stand out among other players.

Tip 1: Choose a Game for Its Profitability

 With the Millionaire game, whether online or on paper, you have a 1 in 3.35 chance of at least recouping your initial stake and a 1 in 1,500,000 chance of winning the million euros to experience the joy of becoming rich overnight (source: BFMTV). Although the probability is slim, it is significantly higher than other Illiko games from FDJ. Similarly, while its price is also higher, the probability of winning money remains attractive and promising...

Tip 2: Prefer the Online Millionaire Game

 As mentioned earlier, the probability of winning is much higher online than on paper, due to the taxes that affect physical vendors and manufacturers. Online, there are also fewer management, printing, and transportation costs, etc. The profitability being better, the probability of winning is thus increased.
 Moreover, the online platform offers interesting advantages to players: promotions, discounts, free spins, and many other exclusive promotional operations available only on the Internet... For example, you can enjoy bonuses awarded upon registration, as a welcome gift, or given during special events organized by the FDJ online site where you play.

Tip 3: Vary Your Bets

 In online scratch games, algorithms are random. Thus, a player can lose several times in a row; and sometimes, their attempts can result in multiple consecutive wins. To optimize your chances, it is recommended to pay attention to these periods and vary the bet amount accordingly.
 Among the new FDJ scratch card games, Millionaire proves to be the most advantageous, especially in its online version. Based on a simple operation (but one that keeps the suspense!), it offers a wide variety of games on a single ticket. And its odds of winning are among the highest in the Illiko range. Not to mention it remains the most iconic FDJ game, as it is the one that makes the most people happy!
