The Quina Lottery held its draw for contest number 6665 on Saturday, February 22, 2025, at the Espaço da Sorte located in São Paulo, Brazil. With the prize money estimated at R$ 8.5 million, anticipation was high as players selected their numbers. The official draw commenced at 20:00 (local time), and the winning numbers revealed were 26, 30, 35, 66, and 77.
Despite the hefty prize pool, no players managed to hit the jackpot by matching all five drawn numbers. This means the total prize has rolled over, increasing to R$ 9.5 million for the next draw, scheduled for Monday, February 24, 2025—a date millions of hopeful participants will be eagerly awaiting.
The Quina has been one of Brazil's most popular lotteries since its inception by the Caixa Econômica Federal back in 1994. Drawn on every day of the week except Sundays and holidays, this game offers six chances per week for participants to win substantial prizes.
For this latest draw, prizes were distributed among other winning categories: 13 players successfully matched four numbers, each winning R$ 35,859.79; 3,307 participants matched three numbers, netting R$ 134.25 each; and finally, 101,535 players matched two numbers, receiving R$ 4.37 each.
To enter the Quina, players choose between five and fifteen numbers from the numbers 1 to 80. The stakes start as low as R$ 2.50 for the minimum bet of five numbers. Naturally, as players choose more numbers, the cost of the bet increases. For example, placing a bet with 15 numbers can cost over R$ 7,500.
There are also alternative ways to play: with the Surpresinha option, the player's numbers are selected randomly by the system, which adds an element of surprise. Alternatively, with the Teimosinha option, players can stick with the same set of numbers for multiple contests.
The Quina offers four categories of winnings, based on the number of matches made: the Quina (five matches) takes the largest share of prizes, followed by the Quadra (four matches), Terno (three matches), and Duque (two matches). The prize distribution for winning categories is structured so 35% of the value goes to those who match five numbers, 15% to those matching four, 10% to three, and another 10% for those with two.
Players can view the live draws via the Caixa Econômica Federal's official YouTube channel or their social media platforms, creating transparency around the process and keeping the excitement high. Subscription to these channels allows fans to witness the results as they are announced, adding to the community feel surrounding the lotteries.
This lottery game not only provides entertainment but also contributes to various social projects funded through the accumulated funds from unclaimed prizes and ticket sales over the years. This year, for example, any unclaimed winnings will be directed to the national education fund, benefiting students across Brazil.
For those passionate about chances and prizes, the upcoming draw promises even more excitement, as the prize pot has risen due to the lack of major winners.
For anyone interested, here’s how to participate: before 19:00 on the draw day, players can place their bets either at authorized lottery retailers or online using the Caixa's website or app. Given the betting timeline and options, enthusiasts have ample opportunities to join the fun.
With millions of players hoping to strike it rich, the atmosphere surrounding every Quina draw remains electric. Whether you're a newcomer or a seasoned player, there’s always something to look forward to. So gear up for Monday's draw and perhaps it will be your numbers drawn next!
