The latest Mega-Sena draw, number 3005, took place on the evening of Thursday, May 8th. While the elusive six-number jackpot remained unclaimed, the event produced a notable winner from the state of Paraná.
A straightforward bet placed electronically in the city of Londrina, located in northern Paraná, successfully matched five of the six drawn numbers. This impressive feat secured the bettor a prize of R$70,003.53. The winning numbers for the draw were 17, 23, 29, 30, 48, and 50.
With no player hitting the full combination, the main prize pool has rolled over. The accumulated jackpot for the next draw now stands at a substantial R$45 million. This upcoming draw is scheduled for Saturday, May 9th.
The draw also saw a significant number of secondary winners. A total of 25 bets correctly guessed five numbers, each earning the same R$70,003.53 prize as the Londrina winner. Furthermore, 2,594 bets matched four numbers, with each winner set to receive at least R$1,112.08.
For those feeling lucky, the Mega-Sena holds draws three times a week. Enthusiasts can participate every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, with the draws always occurring at 9 PM.
Placing a bet is accessible to all adults over the age of 18. Wagers can be made at any official lottery outlet across Brazil or conveniently online through the Caixa Econômica Federal's internet banking platform, website, or mobile application.
The cost of participation starts at R$6 for a basic six-number bet. Players can increase their chances of winning by selecting more numbers, though this also increases the cost of the bet. The next opportunity to chase the R$45 million prize is just around the corner this Saturday.
