In a surprising turn of events in the world of lotteries, +Milionária, operated by Caixa Econômica Federal, is preparing for a historic moment.
Next Wednesday, Caixa will draw an unprecedented prize of R$100 million, marking a turning point for this type of lottery.
This one stands out, as it has never awarded the maximum amount in its 96 previous draws. With a high value prize, the expectation is that a winner will emerge in this next draw.
A unique lottery with extraordinary challenges
Launched on May 28, 2022, +Milionária quickly drew attention for its unique format.
Bettors choose six main numbers from a spectrum of 1 to 50 and two additional numbers, known as “shamrocks”, from 1 to 6.
This combination creates an extremely low probability of success, making the challenge of winning in +Millionária much more difficult than in the traditional Mega-Sena.
Questions and future perspectives
The Minister of Finance, Fernando Haddad, faced questions from the Chamber of Deputies about the viability of the lottery and the possibility of changing the rules to make it more accessible.
Despite never having awarded the maximum amount, Loteria +Milionária has already awarded a significant prize of R$430,800, and on six occasions, the secondary prize exceeded R$300,000.
Anticipation for the next draw is high, with the community of bettors and observers anxiously waiting to see if +Milionária will finally find its first big winner.
This event not only represents a milestone for Caixa Econômica Federal, but also raises questions about the nature of probabilities in lottery games and how they are perceived by the betting public.
A decisive moment for the +Millionaire Lottery
+Milionária, with a prize of R$100 million, can create its first millionaire or remain without winners.
