Mega da Virada Hits R$1 Billion With Bets Closing at 8 p.m. and Draw at 10 p.m.

Because the top prize cannot roll over, a lack of a six-number winner shifts the pot to lower tiers.

Overview

  • High demand triggered a virtual waiting room on the Loterias Caixa website, while physical lottery shops reported long lines across the country.
  • Caixa reiterates official channels for wagers in lotéricas, on its website and app, and via internet banking, with a simple six-number bet priced at R$6.
  • Official bolões follow Caixa rules, with a minimum pool of R$18, quotas from R$7, 2 to 100 quotas, up to 10 bets per bolão, and online bolão sales reported open until 8:30 p.m.
  • The draw will be broadcast live at 10 p.m. (Brasília time) on Caixa’s YouTube channel and the Loterias Caixa Facebook page, with results and prize splits posted afterward on the official site.
  • Caixa warns of fraudulent websites that mimic the official portal, advising bettors to use only the verified Loterias Online channels to avoid data and payment theft.
