Mega da Virada: The most anticipated event of the year

The Mega da Virada draw will be on Tuesday, December 31st, at 8pm, broadcast live on Caixa’s YouTube. But pay attention to the time, as bets must be placed by 7pm on the same day.

If just one player wins the entire prize and applies the amount to Savings, they will receive approximately R$3.4 million in the first month of income.

Mega da Virada stands out for its unique rule: the prize does not accumulate. In other words, if no bettor matches all six numbers, Caixa divides the amount between those who match five numbers. If there are still no winners, Caixa passes the amount to the winners on the court.

Last year, Mega da Virada paid out R$588 million, the largest prize ever recorded in the history of Brazilian lotteries. At the time, five winners shared the millionaire amount. The dozens drawn were: 24 – 56 – 33 – 48 – 21 – 41.

This way, each pool can contain up to 100 odds, with a maximum of ten bets. So, to participate, simply fill in the specific field on the steering wheel or ask the lottery attendant to organize it.
