On Saturday night, February 22, 2025, the Caixa Econômica Federal conducted the draw for the Lotofácil lottery, Concurso 3327, at the Espaço da Sorte in São Paulo. Originally estimated at R$ 1.7 million, the draw did not produce any winners for the top prize. Consequently, this leads to the prize accumulating to R$ 5 million for the next draw.
The event was broadcast live on the Caixa’s official YouTube channel, allowing audiences to watch the numbers being drawn. Unfortunately for players, the main category of prizes went unclaimed, resulting in no winners matching all 15 drawn numbers. The drawn numbers for this round were 02, 09, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24.
While the main jackpot remained elusive, there were some winners among other categories. Notably, 222 players managed to match 14 numbers, each taking home R$ 1,647.38. A total of 8,012 accounts scored by matching 13 numbers, earning R$ 30 each. The 12-number matches yielded winners to the tune of R$ 12, with 102,395 tickets falling under this category. Finally, for those who managed to get 11 numbers right, 534,634 players shared the prize of R$ 6 each.
Participations continue to be relatively straightforward within the Lotofácil framework. Players select between 15 and 20 numbers from the available pool of 25. The pricing structure is incremental, with the minimum bet costing R$ 3 for a simple entry of 15 numbers. The greater the number of tickets selected, the higher the potential payout, naturally increasing the betting amount, too.
For those wishing to engage with the game, it is worthwhile noting the opportunities presented with techniques like "Surpresinha"—where the system selects numbers for you—or “Teimosinha,” which allows participants to place the same bet for multiple consecutive draws, up to 24 times. Prize claims remain valid for 90 days post-draw, and any unclaimed prizes are directed to the National Treasury for financing purposes, such as for student support funds (FIES).
The next draw, Concurso 3328, is scheduled for Monday, February 24, 2025, continuing the weekly lotteries held from Monday to Saturday at 8 PM. Observers and players alike are optimistic about the potential for significant prizes, now set at R$ 5 million, raising the stakes for the upcoming event.
The simplicity and accessibility of the Lotofácil lottery contribute significantly to its popularity across Brazil since its inception back in September 2003. It serves to offer engaging opportunities for both novice and seasoned players alike, with straightforward rules and generous odds of winning, making it one of Brazil's most beloved lotteries.
With each draw, excitement builds, and players eagerly await the upcoming events, hoping their chosen numbers may yield significant fortunes.
