FDJ United Launches the 4th Edition of Mission Nature with Four Dedicated Lotto Draws
FDJ United is launching on Tuesday, May 12, the fourth edition of its Mission Nature game offering, aimed at funding ecological restoration projects. The initiative, managed in partnership with the French Office for Biodiversity, allocates the proceeds from the levy on stakes, which would normally go to the state, to the funding of ecological restoration projects.
Four Dedicated Lotto Draws Between May 18 and May 25
The 2026 offering consists of four Lotto draws specifically dedicated to Mission Nature, scheduled for Monday, May 18, Wednesday, May 20, Saturday, May 23, and Monday, May 25. The offering will be available at the 29,000 FDJ United sales points, on the website www.fdj.fr, and through the FDJ app.
For each ticket played at 2.20 euros, 0.54 euros will be contributed by the state to the French Office for Biodiversity. The '2nd draw' option (an additional 0.80 euros per ticket) will provide an additional 0.14 euros to the OFB.
Sixty-Four Projects Funded Since 2023
Since the launch of Mission Nature in 2023, sixty-four projects have received funding totaling 22 million euros, across the entire French metropolitan and overseas territories. More than half of the projects selected in 2023 have shown visible progress, with work nearly completed.
A call for projects for the fourth edition was launched on March 11, 2026, by the OFB; the new winning projects will be announced in July. Concurrently, FDJ United, described as a 'Major Patron' of the French Office for Biodiversity since 2023, has supported seven of its own projects with a total of more than 1.5 million euros. Two ongoing projects in 2025 aim at the ecological restoration of seagrass beds in the Arcachon basin and the protection of coastal birds.
