What is Mega-Sena?
Since its launch on the 11th of March, 1996, Mega-Sena has become the most popular lottery in Brazil. The main reason for its success is its large jackpots with a recent 2014 jackpot reaching €84 million — the largest jackpot ever in South and Central America.
While this may seem low compared to other jackpots like EuroMillions, the odds of winning the Mega-Sena jackpot are much better. You are more than twice as likely to win the jackpot playing Mega-Sena than you are of winning the EuroMillions jackpot.
How much does it cost to play Mega-Sena?
Mega-Sena only costs £1.50 to play, exactly half the price of a EuroMillions ticket. You can also play additional numbers, as referenced in the table below.
