The Caixa Econômica Federal has postponed the Mega da Virada draw, scheduled for this Wednesday (12/31) at 10 p.m. Due to the record number of bets, the draw was postponed to 10 a.m. Thursday (1/1).
The price, which was set at R$1 billion, increased to R$1.09 billion. According to Caixa Econômica, the record price generated an unprecedented movement in betting channels, which reached 120 thousand transactions per second on the digital channel and 4,745 transactions per second in lottery units.
It is worth remembering that unlike other competitions, Mega da Virada does not accumulate. If no one reaches six tens, the R$1 billion prize will be shared among everyone who matches the corner – and so on.
Caixa reported that this year’s value is 57% higher than that paid in 2024 at Mega da Virada. That year, 635.4 million reais were distributed among the eight winners.
Values of Mega da Virada over the last 5 years
2024 – BRL 635.4 million (8 winners)
2023 – BRL 588.89 million (5 winners)
2022 – BRL 541.9 million (5 winners)
2021 – BRL 378.1 million (2 winners)
2020 – BRL 325.2 million (2 winners)
The first Mega da Virada took place in 2009. Since then, 130 punters have reached the six tens which guaranteed millionaire prizes. The most drawn numbers were:
10 (five times);
5, 33 and 36 (four times);
3, 17, 20, 29, 34, 41, 56 and 58 (three times).
Unlike regular competitions, the Mega da Virada prize does not accumulate. If no one reaches six tens, the amount will be divided between the punters who succeed in the corner and, if necessary, between the other bands.
