According to Caixa Econômica Federal, the distribution of the amount collected by Mega da Virada for the prize is as follows:

- 19% for the second range: who had five hits (corner);
- 19% for the third range: who had four hits (quad).
If no one hits the six numbers, those who hit five accumulate the two prizes: the first and second track.
In addition, the first track has added to the award:
- 5% of the accumulated total of each regular Mega-Sena draw held throughout the year;
- 22% of the cumulative total of the four immediately preceding competitions (accrual for competitions ending in 0 or 5);
- The accumulated total in the first bracket (sena) of the previous contest, if any.
