The next contest will be held on Wednesday, May 31st.
Bets on the Mega Sena
Bets can be placed until 7 pm (Brasília time), in any lottery shop in the country or online, 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 fill in 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 wheel. Draws are held twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
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 ).

For a bet with 15 dozens (maximum limit), priced at BRL 22,522.50, the probability of hitting the prize is 1 in 10,003, according to Caixa.
