The results for contest 6974 of Brazil's popular lottery game Quina were revealed on Thursday, with the numbers drawn being 17, 27, 30, 60, and 63. In this contest, no participants managed to match all five numbers, leading to an accumulation of the jackpot to R$ 7 million for the next draw. This absence of a jackpot winner means that the excitement and anticipation around the lottery will continue to grow leading into the subsequent draw scheduled for Friday.

Additionally, there were winners in other prize tiers: 15 players matched four numbers and will each receive R$ 16,898.24, while 1,740 players matched three numbers, earning R$ 138.73 each. A significant number of players, totaling 47,231, matched two numbers and will earn R$ 5.11 each. The distribution of winners highlights the excitement around Quina and shows that while the jackpot remains elusive, there are still substantial prize amounts available in the lower tiers.

Quina allows players to select between 5 to 15 numbers from a pool of 80. The odds of winning and the cost of a ticket vary based on the number of selected numbers. Players can also choose the 'Surpresinha' option where numbers are randomly selected by the Caixa Econômica Federal, which manages the lottery. This method allows participation for those who may not have specific numbers in mind, contributing to the game's overall popularity in Brazil.
