Brazil's Mega Sena lotto

Brazilian's love to bet as much as any other nation. They have their nationwide adored main lottery called Mega-Sena.It is certainly the biggest Lottery game in Brazil.

Brazil Mega Sena draws are announced two times a week, once on Wednesday and on Saturday. The lottery ticket costs $1.50 for the smallest bet which gives you the opportunity to choose up to 6 numbers.

In the first grid, there are 0 to 5 number balls and in the other one there are 0 to 9 number balls.

Some useful insight on playing Mega Sena lottery

If you visit Brazil, you can visit one of the many (every corner literally) tickect vendors shop or browse the internet in order to buy the Mega Sena lotto tickets online. If you speak Portuguese, you can read all the rules on the backside of the lotto ticket.

You can hit the prizes if you are able to score 4 or 5 or 6 points in the game. However, if you are not able to get 6, you do not have to fret as there are prizes offered on other combinations as well.


Winners are given only 90 days to claim their prizes, and sums of up 800 reais can be claimed directly at any ticket vendor. For prices higher than that you can collect your winning amount at the Caixa Economica Federal Bank, which is the regulatory agency for Mega-Sena and other lotteries in Brazil.

The Primitive Fat, huh?

If you are a fan of the Spanish Lottery, El Gordo (as far as I know not affiliated to the Spanish government) brings some interesting info about how to play the Primitiva.

What is EL GORDO DE LA PRIMITIVA?

That would have been the translation I would have had should have used a dictionary to translate El Gordo de la Primitiva into English. Me-trying-to-be-funny aside, El Gordo de la Primitiva is the major and prefered lottery ticket of the Spanish people. The game is regulated by the Spanish organization ONLAE (Loterias y Apuestas del Estado).

A note about the translation: El Gordo de La Primitiva can be translated into English as "the One" or the "the Jackpot" if we are referring to lottery...
