This last Thursday (1st), contest 2683 of the Mega-Sena left bettors anxious, but, unfortunately, no participant managed to match the six draws drawn.

The numbers 01-03-23-27-47-57 were not matched on any tickets, resulting in a jackpot for the next draw.

Almost R$100 million for the next draw

The next contest is scheduled for Saturday (03). The estimated prize is R$95 million. Thus, the expectation is that the figure will attract even more bettors in search of big luck.

But, despite the absence of a big winner, there were those who came close to the top prize.

A total of 124 bets matched five dozen and guaranteed a considerable prize of R$40,113.14 each.

Furthermore, 8,280 winning games with four numbers were recorded, giving each bettor the win of R$858.18.

The draw, initially scheduled for 8pm (Brasília time), faced a delay of 3 hours and 20 minutes due to “operational problems”. Caixa Econômica Federal, responsible for the draw, did not provide further details about the problem.

For those who wish to participate in the next Mega-Sena draw, all bets must be registered by 7pm on the day of the draw.

The bet value varies according to the number of numbers selected. So, the minimum bet, covering six tens, costs R$5.

For those who choose to increase their chances by including one more number, the price of the game increases to R$35.
