In Mega-Sena, the chance of matching all six numbers with the minimum bet is one in 50,063,860. Given this, more strategic bettors look for alternatives to increase their own probability of winning.
Bet on more than six tens
The most logical way to increase your chances of winning is to play a game betting on more than six tens. Mega-Sena allows a maximum of 20 numbers per game, but be careful, as the number of numbers marked increases, the cost of the bet increases.
Participate in a raffle
Pools are a collective bet, allowing bettors to share the cost of a bet with more numbers and, consequently, the prize.
In addition to private pools between family and friends, lotteries also organize pools between players, with each share being at least R$6. Each bet must have at least two and a maximum of 100 odds. A maximum of ten bets per pool are also permitted.
Bet regularly
Logically, the more times you play Mega-Sena, the more chances of winning. By regularly betting on different draws, the probability of winning increases cumulatively over time.
Avoid common sequences
Experts advise bettors to avoid obvious sequences, such as 01, 02, 03, 04, 05 and 06 or numbers that are multiples of five. Although the mathematical chances of these dozens being considered are the same as any others, these bets end up being common among many people. Therefore, if these dozens are correct, the prize would be divided between more winners.
Use Stubborn
For the most superstitious, who believe in lucky numbers or for the most forgetful bettors, a good option could be ‘Teimosinha’, which allows you to repeat the same numbers for the next draws, without having to fill out new tickets for each new contest.
