How to Participate
Placing a bet on the Mega-Sena is a straightforward process, accessible through both physical and digital channels. Participants have until 8:00 PM (Brasília time) to finalize their bets for the upcoming draw.
Available methods include:

- Digital pools (bolões) via Loterias Online portal
For digital transactions, payments can be processed using PIX, credit cards, or internet banking for Caixa account holders. It is mandatory for all participants to be at least 18 years old.
Understanding the Odds
Winning the Mega-Sena jackpot is a matter of extreme statistical rarity, though the odds vary significantly based on the number of dezenas selected. A standard game consists of six numbers.
According to the institution, the probability of winning the grand prize with a simple six-number game is 1 in 50,063,860. This requires an investment of R$ 6.00.
Players can increase their chances by selecting more numbers, up to a maximum of 20 dezenas. A 20-dezena bet costs R$ 232,560.00 but dramatically improves the odds to 1 in 1,292.
