As of last Saturday, August 26th, Caixa Econômica Federal started offering exclusive bets for the Lotofácil da Independência 2023 draw.
Draw number 2,900 of this lottery features an estimated prize of BRL 200 million, marking the most substantial prize ever offered in this modality.
The awards will take place on September 9, at 8 pm (Brasília time), in São Paulo.
Similar to Mega da Virada, Quina de São João and Dupla-Sena de Easter, as this is a special contest, the main prize does not accumulate.
If there are no matchers for the 15 numbers drawn, the value will be distributed among the players who matched 14 numbers, and so on.
What is the probability of winning Lotofácil?
The single bet on Lotofácil costs R$ 3.00, requiring the player to select 15 to 20 numbers among the 25 available on the ticket.
As of last Saturday, August 26th, any bet placed on Lotofácil – it is no longer necessary to use a specific ticket for Independência – will be able to participate in the special contest.
The probability of hitting the jackpot using a single bet with 15 numbers marked is one in 3,268,760. Those who wish to increase their chances of winning can choose to place a bet with 18 numbers, at a cost of BRL 2,448.
In this situation, the probability of hitting 15 tens is one in 4,006.

Bolão Caixa
In addition to individual bets, there is another way to participate in Lotofácil, known as “bolão Caixa”, where it is possible to form a group to choose the numbers.
After registration in the system, each syndicate bet generates a quota receipt for each participant, allowing each one to redeem their share of the prize individually.
In the context of Lotofácil, syndicates have a minimum price of BRL 12, and each share cannot be less than BRL 4.
Additionally, the player can buy shares of pools organized by the lottery companies themselves. In this case, simply inform the attendant of the desired number of odds and keep the receipt in your possession to check the bet on the day of the draw.
