Mega-Sena is a number draw where players select 6 numbers from 1 to 60.
Draws take place every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.
The game offers 3 different prize tiers, from the jackpot down to smaller prizes.
With Lottofy you can bet on the world's biggest lotteries based on their official results — pick your lucky numbers and enjoy the thrill of international draws in a simple, fast and convenient way, wherever you are.
Mega Sena is Brazil's most popular and celebrated lottery — a classic 6/60 format renowned across South America for producing some of the largest jackpots on the continent. Draws are held at the Espaço Lotteries Caixa in São Paulo, Brazil, several times a week (the draw days change from week to week), and the jackpot starts at a minimum of R$3,000,000 (3 million Brazilian reais), growing each draw until it is won.
Each Mega Sena entry consists of selecting 6 numbers from 1 to 60. The prize structure is refreshingly simple: just three categories — Sena, Quina and Quadra — named after the number of correct predictions required to win each tier. Match all 6 and you win the Sena jackpot. Match 5 and you win the Quina. Match 4 and you win the Quadra.
At Lottofy you can buy your Mega Sena bet quickly, securely and entirely online. As well as the classic single bet, Lottofy offers exclusive play modes — including multiple bets with formulas and Share50 — that give you smarter, more flexible ways to chase that jackpot.
How to Bet on Mega Sena: Bet Types
Lottofy gives you two main ways to play Mega Sena: the single bet, the classic and most straightforward option, and the multiple bet, designed for players who want to cover more combinations with a single bet.
Single Bet
The single bet is the traditional way to play Mega Sena. In one bet you can include between 1 and 3 independent entries. For each entry you select 6 numbers from 1 to 60. Every panel is a separate bet on the official draw, with its own combination and its own chance of winning across all three prize categories.
Multiple Bet: More Combinations, More Chances
The multiple bet takes your play significantly further. Rather than being limited to 6 numbers per panel, you can select 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 or 15 main numbers (and even more when using formula play) in a single entry. The system automatically generates every possible 6-number combination from your selection, covering a far wider spread of the draw in one go.
The more numbers you choose, the more combinations are generated — and the greater your overall chance of matching 4, 5 or 6 numbers to win a prize.
Two Ways to Place a Multiple Bet
Multiple bet — straight play Every combination generated by your number selection is a separate bet on the official draw. This is the maximum-coverage option: you're paid the prize of every winning combination.
Multiple bet — formula play (exclusive to Lottofy) Formula play is one of Lottofy's most powerful and distinctive features. Formulas are mathematical algorithms that intelligently select a subset of all possible combinations from your chosen numbers, reducing the total number of bets required whilst maintaining a coverage percentage that you define yourself.
The result: you play a multiple with significantly fewer bets than straight play, keep high prize odds, and lower the overall cost of your bet. Available exclusively through Lottofy.
Sena, Quina and Quadra: Understanding the Prize Tiers
Mega Sena's three prize categories each have their own name, reflecting the Brazilian lottery tradition of naming tiers after the number of matches required:
Sena — match all 6 numbers. This is the jackpot. The Sena prize starts at a minimum of R$3,000,000 and grows each draw until it is won. All players who match all 6 numbers share the Sena jackpot proportionally.
Quina — match exactly 5 of the 6 drawn numbers. The Quina prize carries 19% of the prize fund and is shared among all players who achieve it in that draw.
Quadra — match exactly 4 of the 6 drawn numbers. The Quadra prize also carries 19% of the prize fund and is shared among all players who achieve it in that draw.
This clean three-tier structure makes Mega Sena one of the most straightforward lotteries on Lottofy to understand — and with odds of 1 in 2,332 for the Quadra, the most accessible prize tier is genuinely achievable even with a single entry.
The Mega Sena Jackpot
The Sena jackpot starts at a minimum of R$3,000,000 and accumulates draw after draw whenever no player matches all 6 numbers. There is no upper cap — the jackpot grows until someone wins it.
Mega Sena has produced some of the largest jackpots in South American lottery history. The record prize exceeded R$500 million, a sum that drew international attention and cemented Mega Sena's reputation as one of the world's most compelling lottery jackpots for the size of the playing population it serves.
Special editions of Mega Sena — including the celebrated Mega da Virada (New Year's draw) — produce guaranteed prize funds that regularly exceed R$500 million, with the jackpot guaranteed to be paid out in that draw regardless of whether all 6 numbers are matched by a single bet.
Draw Days
Mega Sena holds several draws every week, all at the Espaço Lotteries Caixa in São Paulo, and the draw days change from week to week: the next draws are always shown on this page. Every draw has the same rules, prize structure and gameplay. You can enter one draw or several, or select the weekly option to have your combinations active in every draw of the week.
Choose How Many Weeks Your Bet Runs
At Lottofy you can schedule your Mega Sena entries for between 1 and 52 consecutive weeks with the same combinations. Playing multiple weeks at once brings clear advantages:
Your combinations are locked in without needing to revisit your purchase before each draw.
You avoid payment disruptions such as card expiry or other unexpected issues.
You can unlock discounts — the more weeks you choose in a single cycle, the greater the saving.
Auto-Renewal: Never Miss a Draw
If you prefer to play continuously without worrying about expiry dates, activate auto-renewal. When your chosen cycle ends, your combinations renew automatically for the next one. You stay active in every draw without interruption — however large the jackpot grows.
Share50: Win Beyond Your Own Combinations
Share50 is Lottofy's exclusive collective play feature, giving you the chance to benefit from other players' winnings as well as your own. The mechanics are completely transparent, and we take no commission on Share50 prizes:
You keep 50% of any prize generated by your own bets.
The remaining 50% goes into the shared fund and is distributed proportionally among all Share50 participants, based on the number of bets each player has contributed.
In return, you receive your proportional share of the 50% contributed by all other participants.
In practice: even if none of your own combinations wins in a particular draw, you can still receive a payout when other Share50 players have winning entries. And if your own combinations do win, you keep 50% of your own prize, after any reduction set out in our Terms.
We take no commission on Share50 prizes. All the prizes generated within Share50 are distributed among the participating players.
Mega Sena has 3 prize categories. The overall odds of winning any prize on a single Mega Sena entry are approximately 1 in 2,332 — driven primarily by the Quadra tier, which is the most accessible prize in the game.
Category | Name | Numbers matched | Odds | Prize |
1 | Sena | 6 | 1 : 50,063,860 | Jackpot (min. R$3,000,000) |
2 | Quina | 5 | 1 : 154,518 | 19% of prize fund |
3 | Quadra | 4 | 1 : 2,332 | 19% of prize fund |
The Sena jackpot is shared proportionally among all players who match all 6 numbers in the same draw. Quina and Quadra prizes are allocated as a fixed percentage of the prize fund and divided among all winners in that tier per draw. All prize amounts are denominated in Brazilian reais (R$).
