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 need to 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 ).
Odds
The probability of winning in each contest changes according to the number of dozens played and the type of bet promoted. For the simple bet (with just six numbers), which costs R$5, the probability of winning the millionaire prize is 1 in 50,063,860, according to Caixa.
As for a bet on the Mega-Sena with 15 dozens (maximum limit), with a price of R$ 22,522.50, the probability of hitting the jackpot is 1 in 10,003, according to Caixa Econômica Federal – which manages the lotteries across the country.
