According to the Na Rede Oficial channel, there were technical problems during the transmission of the result. According to the YouTube channel, the institution also informed that the draw is carried out through official Internet channels and that any delay does not affect the validity of the competition. In addition, for the first time, the result will not be broadcast on television.
Expectations for the biggest prize in history
Mega da Virada 2025 brings together the largest prize pool ever offered by Brazilian lotteries. The estimated value of 1 billion reais has attracted millions of bettors across the country, who are now waiting for the definition of the six draws drawn.
As in all editions of the special competition, the prize is not cumulative. If no bet matches all six numbers, the amount will be split between the correct answers in the corner. If the lack of winners within this range persists, the amount is returned to the court, ensuring payment of the full prize.
The chances of winning the main prize vary depending on the number of numbers played. In a simple bet, with six tens, the chance of hitting ten is one in more than 50 million, according to Caixa. Those who choose to mark more numbers on the wheel increase their chances, but also face higher costs.
Despite the reduced odds, Mega da Virada stands out from regular competitions due to the size of the prize and the certainty that there will be winners within a certain range.
Disclosure of result
Caixa said the drawn numbers will be officially released as soon as the draw is finalized. After the announcement, the institution will also inform the distribution of the prize, detailing the number of bets on sena, quina and quadra during the Mega da Virada 2025.
