Mega da Virada Bets Open With Prize Estimated Over R$1 Billion

Overview

• Caixa opened bets for the Mega da Virada special contest (no. 3100) on Nov. 3 and will accept wagers until 22:00 on December 31 ahead of the draw at 11:00 on January 1 at Espaço da Sorte in São Paulo.
• The Mega da Virada is non‑accumulating, with Caixa planning to allocate roughly 90% of the pool to sena (six hits), 5% to quina (five) and 5% to quadra (four), so funds move to lower tiers if no sena winner is declared.
• Bets can be placed at more than 13,000 authorized lotéricas, via the Loterias Caixa website and app, or through Caixa Internet Banking for account holders; a simple six‑number ticket costs R$ 6 and official bolões allow 2 to 100 cotas per pool.
• Recent routine draws updated the short‑term prize picture: Mega‑Sena contest 3081 (drawn Nov. 4) produced the numbers 10‑17‑42‑43‑57‑59 and paid about R$ 47.3 million to the main prize, and Quina 7159 on Nov. 4 had a single five‑number winner who will receive about R$ 11.8 million.
• Caixa broadcasts draws live on its digital channels, retains income tax at source on large payouts, and bases Mega da Virada estimates on ticket sales and past accumulation, a process that shaped the R$1+ billion projection after last year’s R$1.09 billion payout.
