Betting on the Mega da Virada, a special Mega-Sena draw number 2,550, with an estimated prize pool of R$450 million, will start to be placed as of this Wednesday (16).
According to Caixa, the value is the highest in the history of Caixa Lotteries; and the draw for the six dozens will be held on December 31st.
Bets must be placed on a specific Mega da Virada ticket at any lottery house accredited by Caixa, throughout the country or via the internet.
As in other special contests, the Mega da Virada main prize does not accumulate. If there are no winners in the main bracket, matching six numbers, the prize will be divided among the winners of the 2nd bracket (with matching five numbers) and so on.
To play Mega da Virada, just dial six to 20 numbers out of the 60 available on the ticket. The bettor can still let the system choose the numbers through Surpresinha. The value of the single bet, with six tens marked, costs R$ 4.50.

Bettors can also increase their chances of winning by placing group bets through Bolão Caixa. Just fill in the appropriate field on the ticket or ask the lottery attendant.
In the Mega-Sena, pools have a minimum price of R$ 10. However, each share cannot be less than R$ 5. It is possible to place a pool of at least two and a maximum of 100 shares. It is also possible to purchase shares of sweepstakes organized by lottery units. In this case, an additional service fee of up to 35% of the quota value may be charged.
According to Caixa, if only one player wins the Mega da Virada prize and invests the entire amount in savings, he will receive R$ 2.7 million in the first month.
