The Quina lottery conducted its draw for contest number 6655 on the evening of February 11, 2025, with great anticipation from eager players across Brazil. The event took place at 8 PM (Brasília time) at the Espaço da Sorte located in São Paulo, boasting a remarkable estimated prize of R$ 16 million.
The long-awaited draw concluded with the following winning numbers: 34, 10, 44, 41, and 69. Although no lucky player guessed all five numbers correctly, prizes were still awarded to numerous participants. A total of 59 winning tickets matched four numbers, each earning R$ 10,717.66. Similarly, 5,462 players matched three numbers and walked away with R$ 110.25 each, and 148,664 tickets with two matches received R$ 4.05. The lack of grand prize winners this time around added to the intrigue for the next draw.
The next Quina draw, contest number 6656, is scheduled for February 12, 2025, and the prize pool is projected to increase to R$ 17.5 million should the current jackpot remain unclaimed.
For those unfamiliar with the lottery, participating is quite simple. Players can choose between 5 and 15 numbers from the pool of 80 available digits on the ticket. The minimum bet is R$ 2.50 for playing five numbers. The odds of winning the grand prize are just 1 in 24,040,016 with this minimum bet. Encouragingly, the more numbers selected, the greater the chances of winning, though it also increases the cost of the bet. For example, placing the maximum bet of 15 numbers could cost up to R$ 7,507.50, improving the odds to 1 in 8,005.
Every week, the Quina draws occur six times, from Monday to Saturday, at 8 PM. Viewers can even follow the draws live via the official YouTube channel of the Caixa Econômica Federal, the institution managing the lottery.
Players must purchase their tickets at authorized lottery outlets or online through Caixa's platforms. It is important to note all bets must be placed before 7 PM on the day of the draw, ensuring ample time for processing.
Should someone win and fail to claim their prize, they risk forfeiting their winnings. To redeem their earnings, winners can visit any lottery outlet or Caixa agency within 90 days of the draw date. If the prize remains unclaimed after this period, the funds revert to the National Treasury, directed toward educational funding such as the FIES (Student Financing Fund).
With the next draw around the corner, many players are hopeful yet pragmatic, dreaming of the life-changing potential of lottery winnings. The sweet thrill of chance continues to engage thousands across Brazil, making the Quina one of the nation's most popular games of luck.
