The transmission, which took some time to start, is done live via the official channels of the Caixa Econômica Federal on the Internet. Shortly after the draw, the numbers drawn and details of the prize bracket distribution will be announced.
As in all editions of Mega da Virada, the price is not cumulative. If no bet reaches six ten, the total amount will be split between the corner winners. If there is still no winner, the amount is donated to the one who matches four numbers, ensuring that all money collected is distributed.
This feature differentiates the special contest from regular Mega-Sena drawings and helps explain the high anticipation surrounding the event.
The chances of winning the main prize vary depending on the type of bet. In a simple game, with six numbers, the chance of getting all the numbers correct is one in more than 50 million, according to Caixa. Bettors who have marked more numbers on the wheel increase their chances, but also face higher values per game.

Even with reduced odds, Mega da Virada remains the most anticipated competition of the year, driven by the value of the prize and the certainty that there will be winners within a certain range.
Statistics that fuel expectations
As the tens are drawn, many punters turn to Mega da Virada’s historical statistics. Number 10 is the most recurring since the creation of the competition, having been drawn five times. Tens 5 and 33 appear just behind, with four occurrences each.
There is also a group of issues that have already appeared three or two times in previous editions, while a few dozen have appeared only once. Among the 60 possible numbers, 11 have never been drawn to date, which tends to arouse curiosity and fuel different strategies among players.
Real-time tracking
With the draw underway, expectations are now focused on the announcement of the six dozen that will define the winners of the Mega da Virada 2025. As soon as the extraction is completed, Caixa will publish the official result and inform of the number of bets on the sena, quina and quadra.
