Even when he was still in the Planalto, former President Jair Bolsonaro had the habit of placing bets on Mega-Sena. However, now he and 19 other winners have hit four numbers in a Mega-Sena syndicate (contest 2655) organized by the Liberal Party (PL) and conducted by Caixa Econômica Federal on Saturday, November 11. Caixa also reported that in this contest, there were no winners with all 6 numbers.
Jair Bolsonaro, the leader of PL, participated in the syndicate, investing approximately R$ 100, and along with the other bettors, took home just over R$ 200 each. The total prize money reached R$ 5,913.68.
Among the winners are two of Bolsonaro's trusted men: Colonel Marcelo Câmara and Lieutenant Mosart Aragão, both former aides to the ex-president during his term.
Given the modest individual amount, the group decided to reinvest the winnings in new bets, and this time it will be in Mega da Virada, the main lottery draw of the year, offering a record prize of R$ 550 million in 2023.
The episode reveals not only luck in the game but also camaraderie among party members, including those who have held important positions in the government. The news highlights a moment of relaxation and sharing among the participants in the syndicate, representing a more laid-back facet of political life.
