Paulinha Leite Claims Mega da Virada Quina, Taunts Caixa in Ongoing Lottery Dispute

Overview

• On Jan. 1, the former BBB posted that one of her bets hit five numbers in the Mega da Virada and wrote, “A Caixa can cry now.”
• O Globo reports the quina had 2,201 winners paid about R$65.8 thousand each, while Terra says her ticket yielded roughly R$11.9 thousand.
• The draw produced numbers 09, 13, 21, 32, 33, and 59, and six bets shared a R$1.09 billion jackpot, according to Terra.
• Caixa’s lawsuit argues Unindo Sonhos unlawfully intermediates lottery services; a prior publicity ban was reversed by TRF-1 judge Newton Ramos, allowing operations to continue until a final decision.
• Leite and Unindo Sonhos deny irregularities and highlight transparency, with her claiming more than 50 wins totaling about R$40 million.
