Mega-Sena Draw Schedule
Mega-Sena drawings are held three times per week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. In addition to the regular draws, “Mega-Semanas” are held leading up to the Mega da Virada, a special year-end lottery. These weeks feature three drawings per week, also on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
How to Play Mega-Sena
Playing Mega-Sena is straightforward. A standard bet involves selecting six numbers from a pool of 60. Players also have the option to select more numbers, increasing their chances of winning. Prizes are awarded for matching four numbers (quadra), five numbers (quina), or all six numbers (sena), with the largest prize going to those who match all six.
Surpresinha: Letting Luck Decide
The “Surpresinha” option allows the system to randomly generate your numbers. This is a convenient choice for players who don’t have specific numbers in mind or prefer to leave the selection to chance. Surpresinha is available at lottery retailers, through the Loterias Caixa website, and via the mobile app.
Teimosinha: Sticking with Your Numbers
The “Teimosinha” feature allows players to use the same number combination for multiple consecutive drawings. This is ideal for those who believe in specific sequences and want to maintain their bet over time. Players simply select their numbers and choose the number of drawings they wish to participate in.
Mega-Sena Drawing Time
Drawings are typically held around 9:00 PM Brasília time. They are open to the public and take place on “Caminhões da Sorte” (Luck Trucks) which travel to a different Brazilian city each day. Some drawings are also held in a TV studio or at the Caixa auditorium in Brasília.
