A day that started like any other for the regular customers of Loteria Eldorado, in the Graças neighborhood (Recife), turned into something unforgettable. Last Wednesday morning (27), the movement at the lottery was surprising with the news that the winning Mega-Sena ticket had left there.
The lucky winner won an incredible prize of R$118.2 million in competition 2704, which had been accumulated for nine draws.
Not only did he win, he won alone. The six numbers drawn were: 02 – 16 – 22 – 27 – 35 – 47. But that’s not all, in addition to winning alone, the prize came with a simple bet, investing just R$5.
To give you an idea, the probability of matching the winning numbers this way is one in more than 50 million.
This is the first time that the Mega-Sena prize has been won in the lottery
Businessman Paulo Correia Júnior, owner of Loteria Eldorado, expressed the difficulty in identifying the new millionaire of Graças.
“If it were a jackpot, it would be easier to know, because there is always someone in the group who ends up revealing it. But a simple bet is much more difficult. We will only know if the person shows up here”, commented Paulo in an interview with Portal G1.
Paulo also revealed that big prizes have already come from Eldorado, such as a Mega-Sena corner and a main prize from Lotofácil. But a prize as big as this is unprecedented for the lottery.
With the news spreading, the expectation is that customer movement will increase even more at Eldorado. Many who appeared at the lottery already knew about the million-dollar prize and were looking to do something inspired by the result of the Mega-Sena draw.
Customers wonder who the new millionaire would be
Retired Áureo Floriano, who has already won two Mega-Sena courts on other occasions, regretted not having played this time, but revealed that he always plays and that, when the prize is too big, they make a family jackpot.
Luiz Henrique Alves, a driver who lives close to the lottery, stated that he doesn’t usually play Mega-Sena, but that he was very amused by the messages from friends asking if he was the new millionaire. In order not to miss the trip, he took the opportunity to try his luck at Lotofácil, his favorite lottery.
Adriano Alves, doorman, saw the millionaire prize in the news and says it is “an extra incentive” to place his bet on Mega-Sena.
Therefore, with the achievement of this extraordinary prize, the Eldorado Lottery and the Graças neighborhood enter the city’s history. Now the neighborhood is known as the place where someone was lucky enough to become a millionaire overnight.
