Mega da Virada Draw Tonight With Record R$1 Billion Prize

Overview

• The special non-accumulating draw is scheduled for 10 p.m. (Brasília), with the top prize flowing to lower tiers if no ticket hits all six numbers.
• Bets close at 8 p.m. across lottery shops, the Loterias Caixa website and the official app, while digital group pools can be registered until 8:30 p.m.
• Players must be 18 or older; a simple six-number bet costs R$ 6 with odds near 1 in 50 million, and choosing more numbers raises both cost and chances (seven numbers cost R$ 42; ten numbers R$ 1,260).
• Official bolões allow 2–100 shares and up to 10 bets per pool, with a minimum pool value of R$ 18 and minimum share of R$ 7, and accredited outlets may charge up to 35% per share; Caixa warns that informal pools risk fraud.
• Historical data show the number 10 as the most frequently drawn, several numbers have never appeared, and past winners cluster in populous areas, with São Paulo leading cities and states for winning tickets.
