Holiday Alters Mega-Sena Draws: Check the New Dates
Changes affect the lottery schedule due to Black Consciousness Day
The Lottery House
The Black Consciousness Day holiday, celebrated this Wednesday (11/20), has altered the schedule for Mega-Sena and other lotteries this week. Mega-Sena will have only two draws instead of the usual three.
Contest 2798 will take place on Tuesday (11/19), while contest 2799 is scheduled for Saturday (11/23). There will be no draw on Thursday (11/21), as is typically the case.
In addition to Mega-Sena, other lotteries will also experience changes. The +Milionária and Federal Lottery draws, usually held on Wednesdays, have been rescheduled for Thursday (11/21). Lotteries such as Dupla Sena, Super Sete, Lotomania, Quina, and Lotofácil will have one less draw this week.
Caixa Econômica Federal advises players to pay attention to the updated dates to avoid missing betting deadlines. Lotteries offer a great chance to test your luck, but holidays can alter the game schedule. Stay alert and adjust your bets according to the new calendar.
What are the odds of winning the Mega-Sena jackpot?
The odds of matching all six numbers with a simple bet are 1 in 50,063,860. However, Mega-Sena allows the selection of up to 20 numbers. This bet costs R$ 193,800.00, but the odds improve to 1 in 1,292.
Winners can claim their prizes at accredited lottery retailers or Caixa branches. For gross amounts exceeding R$ 2,259.20, claims must be made at the bank with an ID, CPF, and the betting receipt.
