Caixa Econômica Federal announced on Monday (12) the suspension of the Mega-Sena draws until the special edition that marks the 30th anniversary of the award. THE Mega-Sena 30 years is scheduled to take place on May 24tha Sunday. With the changes, the draws will not be held on the following days:

  • May 19
  • May 21
  • May 23

The measure begins to take effect on May 17th, so the draw this Tuesday (12th), which draws an accumulated prize of R$ 52 million, is maintained, as well as the one on May 14th and 16th.

Mega-Sena 30 years, which will be the 3010 competition, has an estimated prize of R$150 million and does not accumulate. The composition of the prize and the amount allocated to the distribution of the prize bands will follow the rules of the special contest:

  • 1st bracket – 90% divided between bets that contain 6 correct predictions – sena;
  • 2nd bracket – 5% divided between bets that contain 5 correct predictions – corner;
  • 3rd bracket – 5% divided between bets that contain 4 correct predictions – court.

Since 1996, Mega-Sena has distributed R$17 billion in prizes.
