Mega-Sena Lottery Results

How to Play the Mega-Sena Lottery:

The balls are selected from a single spinning globe. Each segment of ten balls are differently coloured from the rest, with a total of six colours across all the balls. The Mega-Sena only pays out prizes for the top 3 prize tiers. The prize value for each tier is based on a percentage value of the total prize fund (46% of the total lottery earnings). 

Match 6 balls - 35% of prize fund
Match 5 balls - 19% of prize fund
Match 4 balls - 19% of prize fund

Players need to select 6 unique numbers out of a possible 60. If a player matches all their six chosen numbers to the numbers drawn, they win the jackpot. The Mega-Sena lottery has a starting minimum jackpot of R$2 million (about US$900,000). However, this jackpot has grown to considerable amounts – and there is no doubt that it has the potential to do so again.
