The employee of a lottery shop in Goiânia, Aparecida Soares, played a fundamental role in choosing the numbers that resulted in a winning Mega-Sena jackpot, which yielded an incredible R$206,475,189.60 million.
Although she has worked for 13 years at the lottery where the prize came from, she did not participate in this particular bet, but that did not sadden her.

Aparecida felt happy when she awarded 24 bettors: “I like making prizes and it was really good, because I had the great pleasure of ‘rewarding’ 24 people.”
Thus, with 33 years of experience working in lottery outlets, the employee frequently records and chooses numbers for prizes.
However, this time, both she and other employees did not participate in the bet. This is a common practice for lottery operators to keep the quota for the lottery to compete.
The winning prize was registered at the Setor Vila Nova lottery, in the capital, with a total of 10 numbers bet.
The Mega-Sena draws were 04 – 13 – 18 – 39 – 55 – 59, awarding R$8,603,132.88 million for each of the 24 bettors. But in addition to the winning prize in Goiânia.
So, if you want to participate in the next draw, bets for Mega-Sena must be placed by 7pm (Brasília time) on the day of the prize.
