Mega Sena da Virada paid the biggest prize in history, in 2021

Those who don't usually follow the Mega da Virada draw got a shock when they saw that the modality paid almost 400 million reais to the winners of this year's contest. A value of 350 million reais was foreseen for those who match the 6 numbers of the game, but there were so many bets that the prize pool ended up increasing and paid 378 million to the two winning tickets.

O Mega da Virada result was the following: 12 - 15 - 23 - 32 - 33 and 46. One of the winners came from Cabo Frio, in Rio de Janeiro, and has already received his prize of 189 million reais. The other came from the city of Campinas, in São Paulo. Both made pools and divided the impressive amount among their participants.

There were 14 people in Campinas, and each one took 13,5 million home. That kind of money changes anyone's life. The whole of Brazil played, dreaming of this fabulous sum. Famous, anonymous, solitary players and/or friends who got together and made the maximum post in the category. 98 people bet on a single ticket with 15 scores marked, but they didn't win.

The cost of a bet like this, with 15 tens, ends up being 22 thousand reais. Divided among so many people, however, it ends up being cheap. If you think about the amount promised, you will see that only in cases like these is it worth putting so much money into a single bet. The ideal, however, would be to play several games with 10 or 12 numbers.

Mega has already made several millionaires.

Since collective games were legalized – they took place freely, but the winners had to trust the organizers, as only a voucher was issued – the Bolões became enormously popular. Now, each participant has their share and can receive individually, something much safer for everyone.

Depending on the number of participants, the values ​​are very attractive. Nothing like winning alone, of course. But receiving any amount is better than nothing... In 2019, a player alone won almost 290 million reais, by winning a contest whose prize was accumulated for 9 consecutive draws. It was the biggest individual prize in the history of the Brazilian lottery.

Everyone's dream is to find a magic formula, a tip that makes life easier for those who want to win. But, if you think about it, if there was such a possibility, everyone would win and end up receiving less than they bet... The best thing is to play and, who knows, receive a good amount, capable of making you pay your debts and still enjoy a little life.
