A lucky bettor from Sorocaba, São Paulo, has struck it rich by matching all 15 numbers drawn in the latest Lotofácil contest 3273, held on December 18, 2024. The winning ticket, which boasts a whopping prize of R$ 1,640,094.13, was purchased at the Galeria Santa Clara lottery outlet situated on Padre Luiz Street.
The winning numbers from the draw were 02, 04, 06, 07, 08, 10, 12, 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25. A total of 605,534 tickets were sold for this draw. Interestingly, there were also 175 other lucky players who managed to correctly guess 14 of the numbers drawn. Each of these 175 winning tickets will receive R$ 1,965.09, resulting in substantial payouts all around.
Many players may wonder about the mechanics of the game. Lotofácil allows players to choose between 15 and 20 numbers from the 25 available on their tickets, with prizes awarded for matches ranging from 11 numbers up to the full 15. This simplicity makes it one of the easier lottery games to participate in. The game also offers options like the Surpresinha, where the system randomly selects numbers, or the Teimosinha, which allows players to use the same bet for multiple consecutive draws.
The division of the prize pool is quite structured. The gross prize pool constitutes about 43.35% of all collected bets. From this amount, set prizes are allocated for those who match 11, 12, and 13 numbers—a strategy certainly encouraging more participants to take part. After these fixed payouts, 62% of the remaining pool is distributed to winners matching all 15 numbers, 13% to those with 14 matches, and the remainder is rolled over for future special draws.
Looking forward, the next Lotofácil contest is scheduled for December 20, 2024. The current estimate for this jackpot is around R$ 1.7 million, creating excitement and anticipation among lottery enthusiasts.
With casual bets starting at only R$ 3, there’s certainly no shortage of players eager for their chance at life-changing winnings. Many look to luck, but it also pays to stay informed about strategy hints, whether it’s selecting popular numbers or taking advantage of the options provided by the lottery system.
A variety of other rewarding bets accompanied the significant draw described above, including 7,016 tickets matching 12 numbers for R$ 30 each, and 91,822 tickets hitting 11 numbers earning R$ 12 each. Finally, 506,520 players struck out with 10 matches, receiving R$ 6 as consolation.
Coincidentally, the excitement doesn’t just revolve around the players. Local lottery retailers both benefit and promote the lottery with strategic advertising and prominent display of enticing outcomes, inspiring new players to try their luck.
Another key aspect of Lotofácil is the entities involved, which are focused not only on providing entertainment and excitement but also on driving considerable revenue through public contributions for projects like education. After the 90-day claiming period post-draw, unclaimed winnings revert to the National Treasury for investment, including contributions to the FIES (Student Financing Fund).
All things considered, as we approach the next draw, now is the time for players to check tickets for any prizes they may have missed. With thrilling opportunities on the horizon, both seasoned players and newcomers alike are sure to keep their eyes on the prize alongside every new draw.
