Mega da Virada will pay a large sum of at least R $ 300 million on the last day of the year. The contest is number 2,330. In 2017, the amount of R $ 306 million was distributed among 17 winners. Last year, four bettors shared the prize of just over R $ 304 million.
Bets for the contest began on November 16 and can be placed until 5 pm on the day of the draw at participating lottery houses or online.
You can buy a lot with this money, in addition to spending on travel, debt or entertainment. But can you live off the income?
According to Caixa Econômica Federal, if only one winner wins the Mega da Virada prize and invests the entire amount in savings, they will receive more than R $ 347 thousand per month.
According to Régis Varão, professor of mathematics at Unicamp (State University of Campinas), with the Selic rate (Special Settlement and Custody System) low today, saving is one of the worst investments available in the market, with a yield of around of 0.12% per month.
Still, it can be a conservative investment exit. “Whoever puts R $ 300 million in savings would have an income of more than R $ 300 thousand per month. The value of Mega da Virada is so high that even low savings give the impression of winning the lottery every month,” he says.
The award leaves the 31
As it is a special contest, the prize does not accumulate.
If no one matches all six numbers, the amount will be divided among bettors who match five dozen and, accordingly, until there are winners.
Possibilities
To increase the possibilities, it is possible to choose more numbers for the same bet, but this costs more than a normal bet, of R $ 4.50.
Ties also increase the chances. “But, as everything in life has a price, you increase your opportunity, but on the other hand you are going to share the prize with more people. The R $ 300 million can be shared with many people and there is still a lot of money, so we can say that it’s a better strategy than playing alone, ”says Varão.
According to Caixa, the bettor can win a pot of two to one hundred shares. Each payment costs at least R $ 5. At Mega-Sena, jackets cost at least R $ 10.
