The monuments were selected by a special mission led by the well-known television presenter Stéphane Bern, personal friend of the president, Emmanuel Macron, and specialist in history of the European crowns.
A total of 270 monuments of the French heritage were identified in a state of deterioration that need an intervention.
Along with the scratch cards, which will cost 15 euros and will distribute a prize of up to 1.5 million euros, La Française das Jeux will also market lottery tickets, which will cost 3 euros and with a confirmed draw scheduled for next Friday 14th, with a prize of 13 million euros.
In both cases, these are the highest prizes distributed by the public lottery company, as well as the price of tickets, which are also the highest.
The scratch card will also distribute other smaller prizes, starting at 15 euros. According to La Française des Jeux, a third of the sold tickets will be rewarded.
The 10% collected that habitually go to the State’s coffers will be destined in this case to the Heritage Foundation to restore these monuments.
These two games of chance were some of Bern's proposals to save French heritage, along with the launch of a large collection through the internet that, so far, has earned 1.3 million euros.
