The value is 28% higher than that collected last year, and 70.4% more than that achieved in 2018. The corner had 1,712 hits and each one takes the prize of R$ 50,861.33. Another 143,494 bets hit the court and won R$ 866.88 each.

Deadline for withdrawing the prize

Winners have 90 days to withdraw money. After that, the award expires and the amount is fully transferred to the Higher Education Financing Fund (Fies).

About the Mega da Virada

Mega-Sena awards millions of reais to the player who matches the six drawn numbers. You can still win prizes by guessing four or five dozen out of the 60 available on the betting wheel.

To compete, the player must mark from six to 15 numbers, and may even let the system choose the numbers (Surpresinha) and/or compete with the same bet for 2, 4 or 8 consecutive contests (Teimosinha).

The more dozens you score, the higher the stake and the greater the chances of winning the most coveted prize in the country. Mega-Sena draws take place twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
