The Euromillions reported 23 high jackpot draws (> €75m) in 2023， compared to the record high 43 from last year. The second semester was particularly low in terms of draws， with only eight draws compared to 2022’s 27 draws. Amigo， meanwhile， was relaunched with a new formula in June. Since then， the business has stabilised.  

Other new launches and relaunches from FDJ include EuroDreams， Club Color and Mission Nature.  

Net gaming revenue for lottery operations overall was up 10%， or 17% excluding Euromillions. 

Sports betting， online gaming and ZEturf 

FDJ acquired ZEturf in late 2023，Casino games allowing the operator to enter the online horseracing market alongside its existing online sports betting and poker services. Sports betting and online gaming made €518m in 2023， up 10.9% (or 8.4% excluding ZEturf). FDJ noted that 20% of online sports betters go on to play their online poker games， suggesting efficient synergy between its offerings. 

With the acquisition， FDJ is now the fourth-largest French sports betting and online gaming operator， with a market share of over 10%.  

The company’s growth was in part explained by the FIFA World Cup， which occurred at the end of 2022 and saw momentum carry through to 2023. FDJ expects ZEturf to continue its development under its new ownership， with the Champions League and Ligue 1 being pinned as events of note.
