How to play

The minimum Mega-Sena bet costs R$5 and can be placed at lotteries across Brazil or online, until 7pm. Just choose six numbers from 1 to 60. The prize goes to the player who matches the six numbers drawn. It is also possible to win prizes by matching four or five numbers.

Bolão

According to Caixa Econômica Federal, the jackpot is a modality that allows you to place bets in groups. And to play, just fill in the appropriate field on the steering wheel or ask the lottery attendant. Thus, each person receives a ticket with their share of the pool and can withdraw the prize individually.

Players can also buy shares in prize pools organized by lottery houses. In this case, an additional service fee of up to 35% of the quota value may be charged. In Mega-Sena, jackpots have a minimum price of R$15. However, each share cannot be less than R$6.

It is possible to create a pool of at least 2 and a maximum of 100 shares. A maximum of 10 bets per pool are permitted.

How to play online?

Anyone over the age of 18 can bet through Caixa Econômica Federal’s electronic channels. The minimum bet is R$30 and the maximum is R$500. The bet can be paid with Pix, credit and debit cards.

Chances

For those who bet on a single ticket (which costs R$5), the probability of getting all six numbers right is one in 50 million. For those who complete the 20 tens game, which costs almost R$194,000, the chance increases considerably: one in 1,292.
