How much does the accumulated prize yield?
But how much is R$ 115 million invested in savings worth?
The most popular investment among Brazilians, based on the Selic Rate plus the Referential Rate, can yield more than half a million monthly for those who want to place the Mega-Sena jackpot.
If the winner decides to put the R$ 115 million in savings, the monthly income will be approximately R$ 757,735.
How to bet on the Mega-Sena?
It is possible to bet your luck on the Mega-Sena until 7 pm (Brasília time) on the day of the draw.
Bets can be placed through accredited lottery houses, through the official website or through the Loterias Caixa application.
Also, you can increase your winning odds with a few different methods.
For example, there is the option of making a pool — playing in a group, the chances of winning huge amounts of money are greater, even sharing the total amount of the prize.
Therefore, it is possible to make a pool of at least two shares and a maximum of 100.
