Caixa Lotteries Set Historic Record with R$ 25.6 Billion in Revenue in 2024

Caixa Federal Lotteries ended 2024 with a historic revenue record: R$ 25.6 billion in bets. This milestone was driven by the impressive volume generated by the Mega da Virada, which raised R$ 2.49 billion — a 2.6% increase compared to the 2023 edition. Until now, the highest result had been recorded in 2022, when adjusted values totaled R$ 25.50 billion.

The performance also reflects the impact of the regulation of fixed-odds online betting, known as "bets," which came into effect in 2024. Despite direct competition with traditional lotteries, the sector managed by Caixa maintained its leadership, attracting millions of bettors nationwide.

Additionally, the record represents a significant increase in social transfers. By November, the Brazilian Paralympic Committee had received R$ 209.6 million, while the Brazilian Olympic Committee (COB) secured R$ 377 million — figures further boosted in December thanks to R$ 63 million generated by the Mega, Lotofácil, and Quina. The National Culture Fund also exceeded R$ 732 million, compared to the R$ 720 million raised in 2022.

The Mega da Virada, with a record prize of R$ 635 million, played a central role in this performance, but other modalities, such as Lotofácil, Quina, Lotomania, and +Milionária, also contributed. In December alone, bets across various modalities totaled R$ 1.3 billion.

The results solidify Caixa Lotteries' strength, showcasing their ability to innovate and grow, even in a highly competitive environment. The final numbers and social transfers for 2024 will be officially released by Caixa in January.
