There are numerous Brazilian Lottery games offered by Caixa Economica Federal bank including Dupla Sena, Loteria QuinaLotogol, Lotofacil, Loteca, Loteria Federal, Lotomania, Timemania, Loteria Instantanea, Mega Sena da Virada and the flagship Brazilian Lottery that we will be looking at more closely here the twice weekly jackpot game Mega-Sena

Mega Sena Loteria – Overview

The Brazilian Lottery Mega-Sena is a national institution in Brazil and is by far the most popular lotto game in the country and was first launched by Caixa Economica Loterias back in March 1996.

In fact this Brazil Lotto is so huge and well known that it is also very popular among players from outside Brazil with many lottery players worldwide also playing the Mega Sena.

MegaSena lottery draws take place on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 8pm Brazilian time giving you two chances each week to participate in one of the largest lotteries in the world.

The Mega-Sena uses a slightly unusual lottery matrix of 6/60 which spans a much wider range of numbers than most National Lottery games and has a lower number of prize divisions available but as a result of this offers larger prizes than normal to be won.

Mega Sena Loteria How It Works

Until December 26th 2009 the Brazilian Lottery Mega-Sena was drawn slightly differently to most world lottery games with 2 spinning, spherical cages being used for producing 6 different two-digit numbers from 01 to 60.

Firstly a ball was drawn from Cage 1 with numbers from 0 to 5 and then a ball was drawn from Cage 2 with numbers from 0 to 9.

The number drawn from Cage 1 was used as the 1st digit and then the number drawn from Cage 2 was used as the 2nd digit.

If the number 00 was produced this was replaced by the number 60 for the draw.

With effect from December 31st 2009 – the draw procedure was simplified with the present-day use of just 1 drum now containing all of the lottery balls numbered from 01 to 60.

You need to pick 6 numbers out of the range of numbers drawn from 1 to 60 and if you match all 6 of the winning numbers you will be the winner of a Mega-Sena jackpot prize.

The MegaSena jackpot starts off at R$ 3 Million and each time it is not won it will rollover increasing in size each time until a winner is produced.

There are 2 further prize levels in which you can win by correctly matching either 5 or 4 of the winning lottery numbers.

As there are only 3 prize divisions this means that the prizes to be won are normally quite large which encourages not only people in Brazil to play MegaSena but many from around the world.

You can choose your numbers yourself or use the Surpresinha random number generator option available to have your numbers selected for you automatically. This is exactly the same as the Quick Pick used in USA Lottery games or the Lucky Dip as used in both the UK National Lottery and EuroMillions.

Mega Sena Loteria Who Can Play?

The same as with most lotteries worldwide in the past only people living in Brazil itself were allowed to play in any of the Brazilian Lottery games including the Mega-Sena. You used to have to purchase your Mega-Sena tickets from an authorized retailer based in Brazil.

Today though this is not a problem as there are a good number of online lottery ticket sales companies available such as TheLotter or WinTrillions who are both authorized and genuine you are able to select your Mega-Sena numbers online and purchase your tickets from almost anywhere in the world.

This is good news of course if you live outside of Brazil and want to play the MegaSena Lottery and ensure your entry into the next draw or simply want to have the convenience and ease of being able to buy lottery tickets online.

You will need to be 18 years of age to be eligible to purchase a ticket for any of the Brazilian Lottery games including Mega-Sena.
