For a standard game consisting of six numbers, the cost is R$ 6.00. The probability of hitting the jackpot with this bet is calculated at 1 in 50,063,860.
Conversely, players can choose to mark up to 20 numbers on a single ticket. While this increases the cost substantially—reaching R$ 232,560.00 for the maximum—it also drastically improves the odds. With 20 numbers, the probability of winning the top prize is 1 in 1,292.

Players interested in participating should ensure their bets are placed before the deadlines. The next draw will determine if this massive prize is claimed or if it will roll over to an even larger amount.
