Mega da Virada Bets Open With R$850 Million Top Prize Estimate

A rule change now directs 90% of the special draw’s pool to the top tier, raising the chance of a billion‑real payout depending on ticket sales.

Overview

  • Sales began on November 1 across lottery retailers, the Caixa portal and app, with a R$6 simple bet and a R$20 online minimum for non‑clients.
  • The year‑end special does not roll over and is scheduled to be drawn on December 31.
  • Starting Monday (November 3), online betting cutoffs for all Caixa lotteries extend by one hour to 20:30.
  • In Saturday’s regular Mega‑Sena draw (concurso 2,935), the numbers 09, 18, 28, 34, 38, 57 produced no six‑hit winners, taking the next jackpot to R$41 million.
  • Separate August rules also raised the principal share of regular Mega‑Sena payouts from 35% to 45%, channeling more of each draw to the top prize.
