Mega da Virada Sales Open With R$850 Million Pot as Mega-Sena Rolls Over to R$41 Million

A Finance Ministry order now directs 90% of the year-end prize to the top tier, boosting headline payouts over previous editions.

Overview

  • Saturday’s Mega-Sena draw (concurso 2,935) had no six-number winners, with numbers 09-18-28-34-38-57, and the top prize rose to about R$ 41 million for Tuesday, November 4.
  • Parallel sales for the Mega da Virada 2025 opened on November 1 with an estimated R$ 850 million that Caixa says could top R$ 1 billion depending on sales; the special draw does not accumulate.
  • Exclusive sales for the Mega da Virada begin on December 21, and the draw is scheduled for December 31.
  • Separate rules for regular Mega-Sena payouts increased the main-prize share to 45% (from 35%) and reduced the quina share to 13% (from 19%), raising top jackpots but trimming lower-tier prizes.
  • From Monday, November 3, bets can be placed until 20:30 via lotéricas, the Loterias Caixa portal/app, or Internet Banking; a simple wager costs R$ 6 and unclaimed prizes expire after 90 days and go to FIES.
