The highest prize ever paid by the federal lottery is 32% higher than that paid in 2021, equal to R$ 378.1 million
Caixa Econômica Federal announced this Tuesday, 27, that the estimate Mega da Virada 2022 went from BRL 450 million to BRL 500 million for those who reached six tens.
This year’s amount is 32% higher than 2021’s prize of BRL 378.1 million – up until then the largest lottery prize in Brazil, according to the bank. Bets for Mega da Virada can be placed until 5pm this Saturday the 31st.
What can you do with that money?
If a person is self-earning and applies the figure to a savings account, the monthly income will be R$3.4 million, according to Caixa.
The bank also says that if the winner wants to show off, the money is enough to buy an island off the coast of Brazil and a yacht with a pool, bar, whirlpool and dining room, as well as fireworks comparable to those of the big New Year’s holidays, paying 20% of the prize amount.
How to bet on Mega da Virada?
To play Mega da Virada, just mark 6 to 20 numbers out of the 60 available on the ticket or let the system choose the numbers, via Surpresinha.
In addition, bettors can also choose to participate in the contest through sweepstakes, by filling in the field on the ticket, or purchase shares of lotteries organized by lottery units – in the latter case, an additional service fee of up to 35% of the value of the fee may be charged.
In this year’s draw, you can bet on more numbers, which increases your chances of success. The number of numbers that can be chosen for the same bet has increased from a maximum of 16 to a maximum of 20.
