The popular lottery game Lotofácil held its contest number 3384 on the evening of May 6, 2025, at Espaço da Sorte in São Paulo, where a lucky player from Rio de Janeiro won a staggering R$ 1,788,068.04 by matching all 15 drawn numbers.
The numbers drawn during this much-anticipated event were 02, 03, 04, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, 21, 22, 23, and 25. The excitement surrounding the event was palpable, with many eager participants hoping to strike it rich. In total, 198 players matched 14 numbers, each winning R$ 1,893.53, while 8,287 players matched 13 numbers to win R$ 30, and 109,571 participants matched 12 numbers to take home R$ 12. Additionally, 627,776 players matched 11 numbers, receiving R$ 6 each.
As the dust settles on contest 3384, players are already gearing up for the next drawing, contest number 3385, which is scheduled for Wednesday, May 7, 2025, with an estimated prize of R$ 1.8 million. For those looking to try their luck, bets can be placed until 19h on the day of the drawing at accredited lottery retailers or through the official Caixa website and application.
The minimum bet on Lotofácil is R$ 3.00, which requires players to select between 15 and 20 numbers from a pool of 25. This format gives players numerous chances to win, as prizes are awarded for matching as few as 11 numbers. The odds of winning the grand prize with a simple bet of 15 numbers stand at approximately 1 in 3,268,760, while increasing the bet to 20 numbers improves the odds to 1 in 211,000.
In addition to the standard betting options, players can also participate in a group betting format known as “bolão,” which allows for shared contributions towards a larger bet. The minimum cost for a bolão is R$ 12, with individual contributions starting at R$ 4. This option increases the number of tickets entered into the drawing, thereby enhancing the chances of winning.
For those who prefer a more hands-off approach, Lotofácil offers a feature called “Surpresinha,” where the system randomly selects numbers on behalf of the player. This can be particularly appealing for those who find it challenging to pick their own numbers.
The excitement of the lottery is not just in the winning; it also lies in the community spirit it fosters among players. Many gather in groups to discuss strategies, share tips, and celebrate wins together, making it a social event as much as a chance to win money.
For players who win substantial amounts, the process of claiming their prizes is straightforward. If the gross prize exceeds R$ 2,259.20, winners must present their identification and winning ticket at a Caixa branch. Smaller prizes can be claimed at any lottery retailer. Additionally, players have a 90-day window to claim their winnings, after which unclaimed prizes are transferred to the national treasury.
The thrill of Lotofácil continues to attract players from all walks of life, with its relatively low entry cost and high chances of winning compared to other lottery games like Mega-Sena, which has odds of 1 in 50 million for a simple 6-number bet. This makes Lotofácil a favorite among many, especially in regions like Curitiba, where it has gained a reputation as the “darling” lottery.
As the next drawing approaches, anticipation builds once again. Will someone else hit the jackpot, or will the prize roll over for another week? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the excitement surrounding Lotofácil is far from over.
