Brazil’s Mega-Sena lottery attracted significant attention this week when one lucky winner took home over R$ 41 million during the draw held on Saturday, March 1, 2025. This jackpot was part of the 2835th contest of the Mega-Sena lottery, and the winner, who placed the bet online, successfully matched the six numbers drawn: 09, 24, 27, 36, 43, and 54.
The substantial prize of R$ 41,734,619.60 marks one of the largest single-ticket winnings recorded, sending waves of excitement through the lottery community. This success was not without its competition. Other players also managed to win noteworthy amounts, with 93 tickets correctly selecting five of the six numbers, netting them R$ 35,546.63 each. The eight winning tickets from Rio Grande do Sul, including localities such as Alvorada, Candelária, and Porto Alegre, among others, contributed to this diverse winning pool.
While the main prize was claimed, the Mega-Sena also generated additional rewards for several other participants. The quadra (four correct numbers) prize distributed R$ 603.29 each to 7,828 winning tickets. The anticipation now turns toward the next Mega-Sena draw scheduled for Thursday, March 6, 2025, with the jackpot expected to be R$ 3.5 million.
Not only did Mega-Sena deliver jaw-dropping winnings, but it also competed with other prominent Brazilian lotteries, including Lotofácil and Quina. The latest Lotofácil draw (contest number 3333) failed to produce any grand prize winners as no contestants managed to select all 15 drawn numbers (01, 03, 04, 05, 08, 09, 11, 13, 15, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25). Consequently, the top prize will roll over, reaching approximately R$ 4 million for the upcoming draw on Wednesday, March 5, 2025.
Within the Lotofácil results, participants who matched 14 numbers (276 tickets) earned R$ 1,209.46 each. Lesser prizes were also awarded for matching fewer numbers, distributing R$ 30, R$ 12, and R$ 6 for 13, 12, and 11 matches, respectively.
Meanwhile, the Quina lottery draw yielded no winners for the top prize of R$ 19 million, as no tickets matched all five numbers drawn: 46, 47, 61, 66, and 75. Nevertheless, 47 tickets were awarded R$ 14,111.06 for four correct numbers. The excitement of Quina spurs as it prepares for another draw slated for Wednesday, March 5, 2025.
For the Timemania lottery, which also occurred on March 1, the numbers drawn were 09, 22, 41, 46, 48, 72, and 80. Although the grand prize of R$ 4.8 million went unclaimed, three players selected six correct numbers, each receiving R$ 25,258.38. With hundreds of other players winning smaller prizes for matching fewer numbers, the allure of Lotto games continues.
Lastly, Dia de Sorte saw its draw yield numbers 05, 07, 08, 15, 21, 23, and 26. The grand prize remains unclaimed as no attendees matched all seven numbers, accumulating to R$ 1.1 million for the next available draw.
This week’s significant wins shine light on the temporary fortune lotteries can provide. The draws create ripples of hope and excitement across the nation, as many Brazilians try their luck for life-changing wins.
