Mega-Sena FAQ’s

Do I have to match the Mega-Sena lottery winning numbers in the exact order drawn?

The Mega-Sena numbers are drawn at random, and after the Mega-Sena draw, they’ll be placed in numerical order for your convenience.

How many numbers are used in Mega-Sena

A single spinning cage is used in the Mega-Sena draw, which contains a pool of 60 numbers.

Six (6) numbers will be drawn from the single spinning cage during the Mega-Sena draw.

Mega-Sena Historical Changes

At its inception, the Mega-Sena draw was conducted by picking paired numbered balls at random from two (2) separate spinning cages.

A ball would be drawn from each cage, one at a time, to form a double-digit number. The first cage contained balls numbered from 0 – 5, while the second cage had numbers from 0 – 9.

When the Mega-Sena numbers drawn from cages were combined, they would form a number from 01 to 60.

This process would be repeated until six (6) unique double-digit combinations represented the final Mega-Sena draw numbers.

After the #1140 draw, the process was drastically streamlined. In the new Mega-Sena draw format, the balls were drawn from a single spinning cage.

Each section of the ten (10) balls is coloured differently from the rest, six (6) across all the balls.
