Is this correct?
Si je gagnerai au loto demain, j'achèterais une nouvelle voiture.
Should gagner be in future simple or present?

Hi Dragana
No, it would be -
Si je gagnais au loto, j'achèterais une nouvelle voiture = If I won the lottery , I would buy a new car
With Si clauses there are only 3 possibilities :
présent ---> futur
imparfait ----> conditionnel
plus-que-parfait ----> conditionnel antérieur
Here is the Kwiziq lesson with the case you are highlighting -
Hope this helps!
Thanks but if I said - demain - in the futur. Is it correct?
In fact I think there are probably two options, just as in English.
1) imparfait ---> conditionnel
Si je gagnais au loto demain, j'achèterais une nouvelle voiture = If I won the lottery tomorrow, I would buy a new car
2) présent ---> futur
The second option indicates a greater confidence, or at least optimism.
