In the recent Mega-Sena lottery draw number 2.986 held on Thursday, November 19, in São Paulo, two bets from the state of Piauí successfully matched five numbers and won substantial prizes. The winning tickets were registered in the towns of Campo Maior and Teresina. With the absence of a winner for all six numbers (01 - 05 - 13 - 26 - 41 - 53), the main prize has accumulated, and now it is expected to reach R$ 8 million for the next draw.

One of the successful bets was a group bet or 'bolão' from a lottery outlet in Campo Maior, entitling its eight contributors to a share of R$ 30,740.56. The other was a single bet from Teresina, with the winner receiving a similar prize amount of R$ 30,740.63. Nationwide, a total of 33 bets also matched five numbers, each winning just over R$ 30,000, demonstrating a wide participation in the lottery across Brazil.

Additionally, the article notes that 19 other bets in Piauí correctly guessed four numbers, each earning R$ 789.87. The successful four-number tickets were distributed among several locations in Piauí, including Alagoinha do Piauí, Barras, Campo Maior, Cocal, Parnaíba, Piripiri, São Raimundo Nonato, Uruçuí, and Teresina, with Teresina showing the highest concentration of winners. This illustrates a vibrant local interest in the Mega-Sena lottery and its potential for lucrative winnings for residents.
