How to bet on the Mega-Sena?

Bets must be placed by 7 pm (Brasília time), at any lottery agency in Brazil or via the internet, on the Caixa Econômica Federal website – accessible by cell phone, computer or other devices. You must register, be of legal age (18 years or older) and enter your credit card number.

The Mega-Sena pays millions to the person matching the 6 numbers drawn. It is still possible to win prizes by matching 4 or 5 numbers out of the 60 available on the betting ticket.

To make your dream of becoming a millionaire come true, you must mark 6 to 20 numbers on the ticket, allowing the system to choose the numbers for you (Surpresinha) and/or compete with the same bet for 2, 4 or 8 consecutive contests (Teimosinha ).

Draws are held twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays. To adjust the number of the Mega da Virada contest, which must end in 0 or 5, the Mega-Weeks were created, which are exclusive to the Mega-Sena. Draws take place on predetermined dates throughout the year. There are three contests per week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
