The Lotomania lottery held its 2920th draw this Wednesday, revealing a set of numbers that left the grand prize unclaimed. Players across Brazil tuned in to see if their selections would match the winning combination, but the elusive 20-number match remained out of reach for all participants.
The drawn numbers for concurso 2920 were: 1, 9, 14, 43, 44, 49, 51, 54, 55, 57, 79, 82, 87, 90, 91, 92, 93, 97, 98, and 99. This specific sequence determined the winners across all prize tiers, from the top jackpot down to the consolation categories.
With no ticket successfully matching all 20 numbers, the main prize pool has rolled over and now stands at an impressive R$2.6 million. This accumulated jackpot will be the target for players in the upcoming draw, scheduled for this Friday. The rollover mechanism is a key feature of Lotomania, allowing prizes to grow significantly when the top tier is not won.
Despite the absence of a jackpot winner, the draw produced numerous other victors. Two lucky players managed to hit 19 of the 20 numbers, each securing a substantial prize of R$102,183.52. Further down the prize ladder, 100 tickets correctly predicted 18 numbers, earning each winner R$1,824.70. The tier for 17 correct numbers saw 685 winning bets, with each receiving R$186.46.
The lower prize categories also saw significant activity. A total of 3,656 players matched 16 numbers, winning R$34.93 each. The most common winning tier was for 15 correct numbers, where 14,237 participants each took home R$8.97. Notably, the category for matching zero numbers, which is also a winning outcome in Lotomania, had no winners in this particular draw.
Lotomania operates on a simple yet engaging format. Players select 50 numbers from a pool of 100 on their betting slip. The cost for a full 50-number bet is a fixed R$3.00. For those who prefer, the system can complete the selection if fewer numbers are chosen, or players can opt for the 'Surpresinha' method, where the lottery operator, Caixa Econômica Federal, randomly selects the numbers.
The prize distribution follows a structured percentage breakdown. The largest share, 45%, is allocated to the jackpot winners who match all 20 drawn numbers. The remaining prize fund is divided among the other tiers: 16% for 19 hits, 10% for 18 hits, and 7% each for 17, 16, and 15 hits. A unique 8% portion is reserved for the rare outcome of matching none of the 20 numbers.
Lotomania draws are held three times a week, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, at 9 PM. The next opportunity for players to try for the accumulated R$2.6 million jackpot is this Friday. Based on reporting from g1.
