Historical Mega-Sena Changes

When the Mega-Sena lottery was launched the draw was done using two separate spinning spherical cages. To make a double-digit number, a ball would be pulled from each cage one at a time.

The first cage ball numbers were 0–5, while the second cage held balls numbered 0–9. When the Mega-Sena numbers from the cages were added together, they formed a number ranging from 01 to 60. In the event of the number 00 showing up, it is replaced by the number 60.

This method is repeated until the final Mega-Sena draw numbers are made up of six (6) different double-digit combinations.

The Mega-Sena draw was simplified after the #1140 draw with the balls drawn from a single rotating cage and each section of the ten (10) balls is coloured differently from the rest, with a total of six (6) colours across all the balls.
