Caixa Econômica Federal starts this Sunday (19) exclusive sales for Mega da Virada bets, contest 2440, which will take place on the last day of the year. As a result, other regular Mega-Sena contests are suspended. According to the bank, the prize is estimated at R$ 350 million.
This Saturday (18th) the last regular Mega-Sena draw was held, in which no one hit the six dozen drawn. As the bets were placed until 7pm, whoever plays through Loterias Caixa, the website or internet banking from this time onwards, will automatically be competing for the Mega da Virada. In person, only from Monday, when the lottery offices open again.
Bets started on November 16th and can be placed until 5pm on the day of the draw at accredited lottery outlets or online. The contest takes place on the 31st, at 20:00.
As this is a special Mega-Sena drawing, the prize does not accumulate. If no one hits the six numbers, the value will be divided between the bettors who hit five tens, and so on, until there are winners.
In 2020, the estimated value was R$ 325 million. In the end, Caixa divided the amount between two bets: one in Sergipe and the other in São Paulo, made electronically. The simple value of Mega da Virada is the same as the regular Mega-Sena: R$ 4.50.
To play, you must specifically choose the Mega da Virada wheel. Interested parties can go to lottery outlets or use the internet. In this case, you can use the Loterias Caixa application, which can be downloaded on mobile phones with iOS and Android systems, or the website.
Anyone who already has a checking account at the bank, is over 18 years old and accesses internet banking can also bet this way.
