How to bet on Mega da Virada 2024?
To participate in Mega da Virada, you must choose 6 to 20 numbers on a ticket that contains 60 options. The minimum bet, with six tens, costs R$5.
The value increases depending on the number of numbers marked, as well as the chances of winning. It is possible to bet directly at lottery outlets or via the official Caixa Lotteries website.
Another way to increase your chances is to participate in a pool, which works like a collective bet. In it, several people share the cost of a bet with more combinations, increasing the chances of success.
The minimum value of the pool is R$10, with shares starting at R$5. If the group wins, the prize is distributed proportionally among the participants.
