For those new to the game, the process of playing Lotofácil is straightforward. Players can either select their numbers or opt for the "Surpresinha" feature, where the system randomly picks the numbers for them.

As the draw approaches, the atmosphere is charged with anticipation. The results of the contest are broadcast live, allowing participants to follow along and celebrate their potential wins.
However, it’s important to remember the rules surrounding prize claims. Winners can collect their prizes at any accredited lottery house or Caixa agency.

Furthermore, prizes over R$ 10,000.00 are typically paid out within two business days following the claim.
Players are reminded that they have a 90-day window to claim their winnings. After this period, any unclaimed amounts are redirected to the Fundo de Financiamento ao Estudante do Ensino Superior (FIES), which funds higher education in Brazil.
