The latest Timemania lottery draw, concurso 2388, took place on Thursday, May 7th, and concluded without a top-prize winner. The seven numbers drawn were 5, 23, 27, 36, 39, 46, and 71. The designated 'Time do Coração' (Heart Team) for this draw was Juazeirense from Bahia.
Because no ticket successfully matched all seven numbers, the main prize pool has rolled over and now stands at an impressive R$24.5 million for the next draw. This accumulation creates significant anticipation for the upcoming contest.
While the jackpot went unclaimed, several other prize tiers saw winners. Five lucky bettors matched six numbers, each securing a prize of R$47,909.85. A further 205 tickets correctly predicted five numbers, earning their holders R$1,669.33 each.
Lower-tier prizes were also distributed. There were 4,119 winning tickets with four correct numbers, each receiving R$10.50. The most common winning category was for three correct numbers, with 40,008 tickets each winning R$3.50. Additionally, 8,091 bets correctly guessed the Heart Team, Juazeirense/BA, and each will receive R$8.50.
For those looking to participate in the next draw, the mechanics are straightforward. Players choose 10 numbers from a pool of 80 and select one Heart Team. A standard bet costs R$3.50. Prizes are awarded for matching between three and seven numbers, as well as for correctly picking the Heart Team.
The prize distribution follows a specific structure. Fixed amounts are awarded for three or four correct numbers and for the Heart Team. The remaining prize fund is then divided: 50% goes to the seven-number winners, 20% is shared among those with six matches, and another 20% is for the five-number winners. The final 10% is accumulated and distributed to seven-number winners in draws ending in 0 or 5.
Players can also opt for convenience features like 'Surpresinha,' where the system randomly selects numbers, or 'Teimosinha,' which allows the same bet to be played for up to 12 consecutive draws.
The next opportunity to win the accumulated jackpot is coming up soon. The draw for concurso 2389 is scheduled for this Saturday, May 9th, at 9 PM. Based on reporting from g1.
