Mega-Sena 30 Years: Caixa raises prize estimate to R$330 million

Caixa Econômica Federal raised the prize estimate for contest 3010 to R$330 million. The previous forecast for Mega-Sena 30 Years was R$300 million.

The special draw will be held this Sunday (24), starting at 11am.

According to the rules of the modality, the prize does not accumulate. If no one matches all six numbers, the amount will be divided between the bettors who matched five numbers and, if necessary, between the other prize categories.

Betting closed this Saturday (23), at 10pm, but the virtual prize pools are still running. Online collective games for Sena will have an extended sales period and can be purchased up to one hour before the draw.

Prize
The gross prize corresponds to 43.35% of the collection. Of this percentage:

- 45% is distributed among those who match the 6 numbers drawn (Sena);
- 13% among those who match 5 numbers (Quina); of the last competition of the year ending 0 or 5 (Mega da Virada).

If there is no winner in any range, the value accumulates for the next contest, in the respective prize range.

Prizes expire 90 days after the draw date. After this period, the amounts are transferred to the National Treasury for investment in Fies (Higher Education Student Financing Fund).
