How to play Brazil Mega Sena Lottery
This is a single-matrix game that uses two drums containing only single numbers – the first 0 – 5 and the second 0 – 9. The double-digit numbers are created by combining the numbers drawn from each drum. In the event that two 0’s are drawn, then that number becomes 60.
If your chosen six combined numbers in the 1 – 60 range are drawn, then you win the jackpot. There is also the option of automatically generated numbers, called the Surpresinha ticket.
The Mega da Virada draw takes place on New Year’s Eve and generally boasts the biggest annual jackpot prize. It’s an accumulation of approximately 5% of the prize pool from every other draw that happens throughout the year. Did some say VERY happy new year?
