According to the rules published by Caixa, the special draw prize does not accumulate. Therefore, if no one matches the six tens, the main value will be divided between the bettors who match the corner.
If there are still not enough winners, it will go to the court, increasing the chances of someone matching the sequence of numbers.
Bets can be placed until 10pm (Brasília time) on May 23 via the Loterias Caixa app, the Loterias Caixa portal or at any lottery outlet in the country. Bank customers can also place their bets via internet banking.
