The draw took place at Espaço Loterias Caixa in São Paulo and was broadcast live on the Caixa Econômica Federal's official YouTube channel.

For those interested in participating in the upcoming contest, bets can be placed until 19h (Brasília time) on the day of the draw, either at lottery retailers across Brazil or via the official Loterias Caixa website and app. The minimum bet costs R$ 5, allowing players to choose six numbers from a pool of 60.
The Mega-Sena lottery operates three draws each week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. The next contest, 2860, will feature a prize of R$ 38 million, drawing attention from hopeful players nationwide.
In addition to the excitement of winning, it's worth noting that a portion of the proceeds from Mega-Sena bets is allocated to social programs in Brazil. This funding supports various sectors, including health, culture, and sports, benefiting the wider community.
To check if you have won, compare your ticket numbers with the drawn numbers. If you are among the lucky winners, prizes up to R$ 1,903.98 can be claimed at any lottery outlet, while larger prizes must be redeemed directly at Caixa agencies. For amounts exceeding R$ 10,000.00, payment is processed two days after presenting the winning ticket.
For those considering the odds, the chances of winning the Mega-Sena jackpot with a minimum bet of six numbers are approximately one in 50,063,860. Increasing your bet to include more numbers can improve your odds, but it also raises the cost significantly.
