Mega da Virada Prize Set at R$1 Billion for Dec. 31 Draw

Overview

• Betting closes at 8 p.m. Brasília time on Dec. 31 and the draw starts at 10 p.m., with live coverage on Loterias Caixa’s Facebook and Caixa’s YouTube channel.
• Caixa confirms the record R$1 billion estimate, supported by 2025 rule updates that boosted the accumulated share of receipts to 10% and directed roughly 90% of the pool to the top tier.
• If no ticket hits all six numbers, the fund cascades to five-number winners and then to four-number winners in the same drawing.
• A single six-number wager costs R$6 and has a 1-in-50,063,860 chance of matching all six numbers, according to official odds.
• Only the Loterias Online site and Caixa app/internet banking accept valid online bets, with Caixa reporting fake look-alike sites; players increase chances only by marking more numbers or joining syndicates, which raise costs and may split prizes.
