No one managed to match the six numbers in contest 2,695 of the Mega-Sena lottery, resulting in an accumulated prize of R$205 million for the next draw, scheduled for this Tuesday (5).

Last Saturday’s draw (2), held at Espaço da Sorte in São Paulo, had no winners of the main prize. The dozens drawn were: 15-17-32-33-34-40.

Therefore, according to information from Caixa Econômica Federal, 249 bets matched five tens and received R$40,004 each, while 15,891 bets were correct, winning R$895.48 each.

It is worth noting that this accumulated prize pool is the largest of the year, but the fifth largest in the history of this category of Caixa Lotteries.


How to participate

To compete for the millionaire prize, players must match the six numbers drawn.

Furthermore, it is possible to win smaller prizes by matching 4 or 5 numbers out of the 60 available on the betting sheet. Therefore, the minimum price for a bet is R$5.00, containing 6 numbers.

The more numbers you select, the higher the bet amount will be and your chances of winning will increase.

If there are no winners in a prize range, the value accumulates for the next contest in the same range.

Prizes are valid for 90 days after the draw date.

How to receive the prize and Mega-Sena draw days

Mega-Sena draws take place three times a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Winners can receive their prizes at any accredited lottery outlet or at Caixa branches.

For prizes greater than R$2,259.20, winners must make payment exclusively at Caixa branches, presenting an identity document with CPF and the original, winning bet receipt.

Prizes equal to or greater than R$10,000.00 are paid within a minimum period of two business days from presentation at a Caixa branch.
