Friday the 13th: Supposedly a Good Day for the Lottery Here in France

Here in France, just as in the U.S., Friday the 13th is not one of the more auspicious days, but the company that runs the national lottery here has turned the superstition on end through marketing campaigns and made it a "lucky" day to play the lottery.

Currently the Euromillions lottery (spread across several European countries) is running with a jackpot of 60+ million Euros and no one seems to be able to win it, so it keeps rolling over and getting bigger and bigger. Check out the poster here: a maximum winning of 78 million Euros (to be divided among the person or persons with the correct numbers)!
