Caixa Econômica Federal will draw contest 3038 of the Mega-Sena lottery starting at 9 p.m. this Thursday (30). The main prize, which has rolled over, is estimated to reach R$86 million.
The draw will take place at Espaço da Sorte, on Avenida Paulista in São Paulo, with a live broadcast on Caixa's YouTube and Facebook channels. Folha will publish the drawn numbers shortly after.
Bets can be placed until 10 p.m. the day before at lottery outlets, on the Caixa lottery portal, and on the app. Pool bets, in turn, can be made through Caixa's electronic channels until 15 minutes before the draw.
Since July 19, draws for all lotteries that previously took place on Saturdays, including the Mega-Sena, have been moved to Sundays.
A simple Mega-Sena bet costs R$6 and can be placed until 8 p.m. at lottery outlets, on the Loterias Online portal, and on the Loterias Caixa app. The exception applies to digital pool bets, which can be purchased until 8:30 p.m. exclusively through the Loterias Online portal and the app.
The probability of winning for someone who places a six-number bet (costing R$6) in the Mega-Sena is one in more than 50 million. With a seven-number bet (costing R$42), the odds improve to one in 7.1 million.
