Caixa Econômica Federal has moved its lottery draws from Saturday nights to Sundays at 11 a.m. [2].
The shift represents a broader effort to modernize the lottery product manual and update the user experience for millions of players. By changing the timing and expanding specific game offerings, the institution aims to align its operations with current market demands.
The new schedule took effect on July 19, 2026 [1]. All draws are now conducted at the Espaço da Sorte in São Paulo [2]. This change affects the entire suite of games, including the Loteca game, which has also seen an expansion of its offering [1].
Beyond the schedule change, the institution implemented six specific rule modifications [1]. These updates were detailed in a new circular published by Caixa Loterias to ensure the product manual remains current. The organization said these changes are part of a systemic update to the lottery's regulatory framework.
Players who previously followed the Saturday night tradition must now adjust to the Sunday morning time slot of 11 a.m. [2]. The move to the Espaço da Sorte facility ensures that the draws remain centralized in São Paulo while adhering to the updated operational guidelines.
