The Mega-Sena 3005 draw, held on Thursday evening, produced a wave of winners in the western and southwestern regions of Pará state. A total of eight separate betting slips successfully matched four of the six drawn numbers, securing the 'quadra' prize tier for players across multiple municipalities.
The winning tickets were distributed across five cities in the region. Santarém led the way with four winning bets, while Altamira, Monte Alegre, Prainha, and Rurópolis each contributed one winner. Notably, the winning entry from Monte Alegre was part of a group bet, known locally as a 'bolão,' while the other seven were standard individual wagers.
For the seven winners who placed simple bets, each will receive a prize of R$1,112.08 for correctly picking four numbers. The six numbers drawn in the contest were 17, 23, 29, 30, 48, and 50. Despite the regional success in the four-number category, no player from Pará managed to hit the five-number 'quina' tier, which is the top regional prize bracket.
The most significant outcome of the draw, however, was the failure of any ticket in Brazil to match all six numbers. This means the massive main prize has rolled over and is now estimated at R$45 million for the next drawing. This accumulated jackpot is expected to drive significant interest in the upcoming contest.
The next opportunity for players to try their luck is coming up very soon. The Mega-Sena holds three draws every week, scheduled for Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, always at 9 PM. The next draw, therefore, is set for this coming Saturday, May 9th.
For those looking to participate, placing a bet is accessible through various channels. Players can visit any authorized lottery outlet across the country or use digital platforms. Wagers can be placed via the internet banking service of Caixa Econômica Federal or through the official Loterias Caixa website and mobile application, available for both smartphones and computers.
