The Mega-Sena lottery held its first draw of 2025 on Saturday, January 4, 2025, and it ended without any winners for the jackpot. With the six numbers drawn being 08, 27, 36, 37, 39, and 45, the prize has accumulated to R$ 8.5 million for the next drawing, scheduled for January 7, 2025.
This latest draw, conducted at the Espaço da Sorte in São Paulo, did not yield any winners for the grand prize, prompting excitement for the next contest. According to Agência Brasil, "Ninguém acertou as seis dezenas do concurso 2.811 da Mega-Sena que foram sorteadas na noite de sábado (4) no Espaço da Sorte, em São Paulo," indicating the lack of successful bets on the six chosen numbers.
Despite the absence of a grand prize winner, the draw saw a competitive response with numerous participants correctly guessing fewer than six numbers. Specifically, 24 players managed to match five numbers, each claiming prizes of R$ 85,719.03. Meanwhile, another 2,225 participants correctly guessed four numbers, each earning R$ 1,320.87. "Já a quadra registrou 2.225 apostas vencedoras," reported the agency, showcasing the lottery's continued popular engagement.
With the next Mega-Sena draw approaching, players remain eager to participate, hoping to strike it rich. Tickets for the Mega-Sena lottery can be purchased until 19:00 on the day of the draw, either at authorized lottery outlets throughout the country or conveniently online through the Caixa Econômica Federal's website.
The current excitement is palpable, and the upcoming jackpot may attract even more participants than ever. The minimum bet is R$ 5, allowing individuals to engage with the lottery affordably, particularly as the odds of winning the grand prize are approximately 1 in 50,063,860 for those choosing the six-number simple bet.
Those who opt for the maximum bet of 15 numbers, costing R$ 22,522.50, have slightly improved odds of winning the big prize at 1 in 10,003, though this requires a more significant financial commitment.
This first draw of 2025 has set the stage for thrilling possibilities with the opportunity to win transformative sums of money. The accumulation of the jackpot will likely heighten interest and ticket sales before the next draw.
The expectations for the upcoming Mega-Sena contest are high, especially considering the growing interest among players hoping to change their fortunes.
