The Caixa Econômica Federal is set to conduct the 2971 Mega-Sena lottery draw at 9 PM on Tuesday, October 10, with an estimated jackpot of R$ 47 million. The draw will take place at the Espaço da Sorte located on Avenida Paulista in São Paulo, and it will be broadcast live on RedeTV!, as well as on their YouTube and Facebook channels. After the draw, Folha will publish the winning numbers immediately.

A simple bet on the Mega-Sena costs R$ 6 and can be placed until 8 PM at lottery houses, through the Loterias Online portal, and via the Loterias Caixa app. There is a special exception for digital group bets, which can be purchased until 8:30 PM exclusively through the Loterias Online portal and app. The odds of winning with a six-number bet are just over 1 in 50 million, while a seven-number bet increases the chances to 1 in 7.1 million, but at a cost of R$ 42.

The Mega-Sena is one of Brazil's most popular lotteries, greatly contributing to the national lottery revenue. Its large jackpot draws popular participation, not only from individual players but also from groups playing together to enhance their chances of winning. This ongoing interest showcases the cultural significance of lottery games in Brazil and highlights the importance of responsible gambling practices, especially for younger players who must be over 18 to participate.
