As in the other special contests of Loterias CAIXA, the main prize of Mega da Virada does not accumulate. If there are no winners in the main draw with a hit of 6 numbers, the prize will be divided among those who match 5 numbers, and so on.
Bets must be placed with a specific Mega da Virada ticket at any lottery store in Brazil, in addition to Loterias CAIXA app, available for iOS and Android, and Loterias CAIXA Portal.
To play in Mega da Virada, players need to choose 6 to 20 numbers from the 60 available on the wheel. The bettor can still let the system choose the numbers through ‘Surpresinha’ feature. The value of the single bet, with 6 numbers, costs R$ 4.50 (US$ 0.85). The bettor can also increase the chances of winning by holding group bets through the ‘Bolão CAIXA’ (Pool).
If only one winner takes the Mega da Virada prize and applies the entire amount to ‘Poupança da CAIXA’ (Savings), he will receive R$ 2.7 million (US$ 512,000) in the first month.
Multiple Bets
From November 16, both for the special Mega da Virada contest and for the regular draw, it will be possible to place multiple bets from 16 to 20 numbers. Details of the odds and prices of the new betting options will be available on the Mega-Sena page on the Loterias CAIXA website also from November 16.
Social Transfers
By making their bets, Brazilians also contribute to areas essential to the development of the country, such as sport, education, culture, security and social security.
Of the amount collected by Loterias CAIXA, almost half is destined to social transfers, as determined by current legislation.
