Sunday (1st) brought another chapter in the cycle of prizes accumulated in Caixa lotteries. According to InfoMoney, Mega-Sena drew numbers 13, 17, 28, 29, 39 and 58 in contest 3080, in São Paulo. The estimated prize was R$42 million, and Caixa had not announced winners until the last update of the report.
Times Brasil reported an estimate of over R$40 million, and O Antagonista recorded the same R$42 million for Sunday's draw. According to Times Brasil, Mega-Sena rewards those who get 4, 5 or 6 hits right, and the prize accumulates when no one wins the main range, which is the one with six hits.
Sources differ on practical points. InfoMoney quotes a minimum bet of six numbers at R$5.00, while Times Brasil reports R$6 for a simple bet of six numbers. In the deadline, InfoMoney says that bets were open until 7pm on the day of the draw, and O Antagonista states that individual bets close on Saturday. Before betting, it is worth confirming these details on official channels.
The probability of success also draws attention. According to InfoMoney, the chance of getting it right with a simple bet is 1 in 50,063,860.
On the same Sunday, Quina (contest 7157) drew numbers 09, 27, 58, 61 and 78, and no one got all five right, which made the prize accumulate. Also according to InfoMoney, the four-hit range had 59 bets and a value of R$8,217.06, the three-hit range had 3,561 bets and R$129.66, and the two-hit range had 96,212 bets and R$4.79. The next draw will be on Tuesday (3), with an estimated prize of R$10.6 million.
What changes for the investor
Lottery is not a market asset, and the facts found do not relate these draws to the stock market, Nasdaq, interest rates or the dollar. The effect is on the bettor's budget, not on odds. For the reader who invests, the most useful data is the comparison of probabilities: a chance of 1 in more than 50 million shows that the lottery game and investment have different natures, since the return on an asset depends on analysis, term and risk, and not on luck.
