But what about your chances of winning the Mega-Sena? This varies according to the number of tens in your bet. With just six numbers, the chance of hitting all the balls drawn and winning the jackpot is one in 50,063,860. If you increase the number of tens, the odds improve, but the investment also increases.

For those who prefer to bet in groups, Caixa offers the bolão lottery. In this modality, it is possible to participate in group bets with a stipulated minimum price and a minimum quota per participant. Mega-Sena bolões allow from two to 100 quotas and offer the chance to place up to ten different bets in each bolão.

With millionaire prizes at stake and different ways to play, Mega-Sena continues to be one of Brazil's most popular lotteries, attracting thousands of players in search of their dream prize.
