Mega-Sena odds & prize statistics
Mega-Sena draws 6 numbers from 60. Below is every prize tier with its exact odds, the combinatorics behind the jackpot, and interactive tools to put those numbers in perspective.
Mega-Sena in plain English
A Mega-Sena line picks 6 numbers from 60. Match everything for the jackpot — there are several smaller tiers below it too.
Mega-Sena keeps it simple — 6 from 60, no bonus ball — but with only three prize tiers (6, 5 and 4 matches) your chance of winning anything is among the lowest of any major lottery, about 1 in 2,332. All tiers are pari-mutuel. Draws are Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, with the giant Mega da Virada on New Year's Eve.
That single number is where every odds figure on this page comes from: you choose 6 numbers from 60, giving 50,063,860 equally-likely outcomes. Exactly one of them is the jackpot line — which is why the jackpot odds are 1 in 50,063,860.

Why there's no fixed prize table
Mega-Sena is pari-mutuel: each prize tier shares a slice of ticket sales, split between everyone who matched that tier in that draw. So the odds below are exact and fixed, but the amounts change every single draw and can't be listed as fixed figures — anyone quoting you a guaranteed payout for these tiers is guessing.

Mega-Sena myths, busted
Every Mega-Sena draw is independent. A number that hasn't appeared in months is exactly as likely as any other — the balls have no memory.
Random picks and hand-chosen lines have identical odds. Quick picks only win more in total because more people use them.
A line like 1-2-3-4-5 is exactly as likely as any other. The only reason to skip popular patterns is to avoid sharing a prize if they come up.
