Brazil’s Mega-Sena, operated by Caixa Economica Federal, is marking its 30th anniversary in 2026. Since its first draw on March 11, 1996, the game has paid out 17 billion reais in prizes.
To celebrate, Caixa is holding a special commemorative draw, contest number 3010, on Sunday, May 24, with an estimated top prize of 150 million reais. In the commemorative format, the top prize is guaranteed to be paid out that day: if no ticket matches all six numbers, the prize rolls down to the next winning tier rather than carrying over to a future draw.
