Mega-Sena guide: rules, prizes, tax and claiming
Understand Brazil's Mega-Sena: number format, prize tiers, eligibility, claiming, tax cautions and official winner-location coverage.
What kind of lottery is it?
Mega-Sena asks players to select 6 main numbers from 1 to 60. Every valid play and draw is independent; historical frequency does not predict the next result.
Number format and winning
Representative prize matches include Sena · Quina · Quadra. The official game rules remain final for the full tier table, prize allocation, rollovers and bonus mechanics.
Eligibility and claiming prizes
Age limits, online eligibility, foreign-player rules, claim locations and deadlines follow the selling jurisdiction. Protect the original ticket and do not rely on an unauthorized courier or resale website's promise to pay.
Tax and estimated take-home prize
Tax can depend on the selling country, the winner's tax residence, prize size and payment method. A published jackpot or withholding amount is not a guaranteed take-home figure; check the operator and relevant tax authority.
Winner locations and official data
The map uses only winner retailers or regions published by the official operator. Retailer-level and city-level records are labelled at their actual precision.
