Renato Bolsonaro said that even with Jair Bolsonaro in prison, he kept his brother in the traditional family pool; the former president returned to the PF on the day of the draw after having undergone surgery
Brother of former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL), pre-candidate for federal deputy Renato Bolsonaro (PL-SP) said the two men hit the court in Mega da Virada in a family swimming pool. The value of the block is R$216.76 and will be distributed among the pool participants.
“This year we played the lottery in three, and I couldn’t let my brother (Jair, who is in prison) from the outside,” he wrote on Instagram. In the game, Renato bet on 22, the number of PL, the party of the former president, but ten was not drawn. This time there was no 22, but in 2026 he can see that 22 will win.”
Among the dozens drawn at random, there are 13, the number of the urn of Workers’ Party (PT) and therefore used by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Bolsonaro’s political opponent.
In a post on Instagram, Renato said he always organizes the bet with his brother, brother-in-law and another man. Renato also said that the group also visited the field last year.

The Caixa Econômica Federal held this Thursday 1st, the Mega da Virada 2025 draw. Contest 2955 had a total prize of R$1,091,357,286.52, the largest ever announced by Loterias Caixa. The tens drawn were 59, 21, 32, 13, 33 and 09. The Bolsonaro family’s lottery field consisted of numbers 13, 21, 32 and 59. In total, 308,315 tickets marked the field.
The same day as the draw, Jair Bolsonaro was released on medical grounds and left DF Star Hospital. It was then transmitted to the Superintendence of Federal police in Brasilia, to continue serving the sentence of 27 years in prison. He was convicted of leading a coup attempt under his government in 2022.
Who is Renato Bolsonaro?
Jair Bolsonaro’s younger brother, Renato, received from the PL the task of maintaining the party’s strength in the state of São Paulo. As shown in StadiumTHE the party has decided to move forward its pre-campaign and hired an exclusive marketer to improve its image.
Renato traveled the interior of São Paulo and inherited the number 2222, previously used by the son of the former president, the former deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP). His record, however, works against it: of the eight elections in which he ran, Renato only won one, that of councilor of Praia Grande, almost three decades ago.
The main concern of Bolsonarism in São Paulo is to find alternatives to replace the winners of the 2022 elections: Carla ZambelliEduardo Bolsonaro, Ricardo Salles And Guilherme Derrite. The four brought together more than 2.5 million voters, but are not expected to run for the House for the PL in 2026.
