Mega Millions, being one of the most popular lotteries in the world, awards the accumulated value again, raising its prize to the incredible sum of US$395 million, which for Brazilians is equivalent to approximately R$2 billion.
The draw that awards R$2 billion will take place this Friday, the 8th, and all Brazilians who participate will have a chance to win.
Considering that Mega Millions is an American lottery, it may seem a bit surreal to Brazilians living in Brazil.
Furthermore, in October of this year, a Brazilian took home US$50,000. For example, in July, two other lucky Brazilians had already taken away 50 thousand dollars each.
The North American Mega Millions lottery allows people from all over the world to play and receive prizes, so playing online without leaving Brazil is completely legal.
It’s worth remembering that the chances of a Brazilian winning this jackpot are exactly the same as someone playing in the United States.
