It was shared equally between three lucky players. The Mega da Virada jackpot builds up from a percentage of each Mega-Sena lottery prize fund throughout the year.

What is the Mega-Sena Lottery?

It was back in 1996 that Lotto Brazil was launched and they called it the Mega-Sena lottery and it wasn’t long before it became the most popular lottery game throughout Brazil. It is operated and controlled by one of Brazil’s biggest banking organisations, the Caixa Econômica Federal and it allows lotto players two chances each and every week to become millionaires.

At times, the Mega-Sena jackpot has grown to nine figures with its biggest ever jackpot prize being R$263.2 million which was close to US$50 million. It was divided equally between three lucky players as part of the Mega da Virada draw in December 2014.
