The Mega da Virada 2025 draw in São Paulo delivered a historic payout on the morning of 1 January, with the special New Year’s lottery reaching R$1.09 billion — the largest prize in the history of Brazil’s lotteries. The live draw, broadcast by Loterias Caixa, produced six winning numbers that contestants and the public watched closely.
Mega da Virada 2025 winning numbers and prize
The six numbers drawn were: 09, 13, 21, 32, 33 and 59. Caixa Econômica Federal will release full confirmation and the detailed prize breakdown in the hours following the draw, including whether there are one or more winners in the top tier (sena).
Mega da Virada is a special, non-accumulating contest. That means if no ticket matches all six numbers, the total prize fund is redistributed to those who hit five (quina) and four (quadra) numbers, following the lottery’s established rules. The system ensures the prize pool is fully allocated among winners on the same draw.
How the prize is divided
The lottery divides winnings across six categories: sena (six correct numbers), quina (five), quadra (four), and tiers for three and two correct numbers. The larger share of the pot always goes to tickets with the highest number of matches. Caixa will publish the exact amounts for each bracket once the number of winners in each category has been confirmed.
How winners can claim their prizes
Winning bettors may claim prizes at any Caixa branch. For amounts of R$10,000 or more, payments are processed within two business days upon presentation of the physical ticket or electronic proof of play, together with an official photo ID and CPF. Caixa advises that physical tickets purchased at retail outlets be identified on the back with the bettor’s full name, document number and CPF to reduce the risk of loss or fraud.
Winners have 90 calendar days from the date of the draw to claim prizes. After this period the funds are transferred to the Fundo de Financiamento Estudantil (FIES), which supports higher education financing in Brazil.
Immediate outlook
Shortly after the draw, Caixa’s official channels and its press office will confirm whether any tickets hit the sena and will publish the complete distribution of prize money. The record R$1.09 billion figure cements Mega da Virada 2025 as the largest single-lottery payout on record in Brazil and will draw significant public interest as officials disclose how the pool is shared among winners.
For now, ticket-holders should verify their numbers and prepare required documentation if they hold a winning ticket. More details and the official rateio (pay-out table) will appear on Caixa’s website and through its public communications in the coming hours.
