The celebration of ‘Candlemas’ in France, Mexico and Canada (amongst many other countries) is coming up on the 2nd of February. PlayHugeLottos.com takes a closer look at the similarities surrounding one of the traditional French celebrations of this special day and playing the lotto.

Is it the golden coin or a winning lottery ticket that may bring you wealth on this day?

To celebrate Candlemas (or 'La Chandeleur') in traditional French style one needs to do the following:

• Hold a golden coin in your weak hand whilst holding a pancake pan in your strong hand (with a pancake ready to be flipped).

• Flip the pancake – it needs to land perfectly in the pan or you must try again.

• The pancake is then wrapped around the gold coin and carried by all the family members to the top of the wardrobe of a bedroom in the house.

• The pancake is left there for 12 months, the previous year’s pancake is retrieved and the coin amongst the leftovers is given to the first needy person one encounters that day, thus ensuring wealth all year round.

What about you? Will you tempt fate with a crepe-covered golden coin or will you buy a winning lottery ticket to lure wealth into your home this year?
