A single bettor from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, won over R$ 11 million in the Quina lottery with a simple R$ 3 bet.
A lottery winner from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, has made headlines after successfully guessing all five drawn numbers in the latest Quina lottery drawing. The prize amounts to R$ 11,083,093.94, as confirmed by the Caixa Econômica Federal. The ticket was purchased with a minimal investment of just R$ 3.00 at the Avenida da Sorte lottery outlet located in the Santa Helena neighborhood of the Barreiro region in Belo Horizonte.
The odds of winning the grand prize with a single ticket in Quina are notably low, with a ratio of one in 24,040,016 for a basic five-number wager, according to Caixa Econômica Federal's own statistics. This particular drawing took place at the Espaço da Sorte in São Paulo, and the winning numbers were 09, 14, 24, 55, and 68. Such a scenario highlights both the excitement and the unpredictability of lottery games.
Winners of such significant amounts are required to redeem their prizes directly at Caixa Econômica Federal branches, especially for amounts exceeding R$ 2,000, which necessitates a government-issued ID and the original winning ticket. Additionally, winners are given a timeframe of up to 90 days to claim their earnings, which adds a layer of urgency for those who may be unaware of their lucky fortunes. This event emphasizes the life-changing potential associated with small investments in games of chance, drawing interest not only from lottery enthusiasts but also from the general public eager to hear stories of remarkable wins like this.
