The purpose of the deputy's proposal is to democratize and socialize the prizes of the Mega-Sena. "Our proposal establishes that the maximum prize of the Mega-Sena will correspond to 30 million times the value of the bet of six numbers, which today is of R$ 3.50 (US$ 0.85) and equivalent to approximately R$ 105 million (US$ 26m). The amount that exceeds this limit will be distributed among those who hit the ‘quina” modality," proposes Brazão.
"It is certain that the collected values would be better used if they contemplated a greater number of people, which is fully reconcilable with the maintenance of the attractiveness of the main prize. Thus, we understand that the increase in the prizes for the second placed when the Mega-Sena prize reaches R$ 105 million (US$ 26m) or when there is no bet on the ‘sena’ modality, will increase the number of bettors, because they will see their chances of gain increased", assures the deputy of AVANTE / RJ.
