Two lottery bets matched all six numbers to share a Mega-Sena special prize totaling approximately R$ 336 million [1].
The win marks a milestone for the lottery's 30-year anniversary, featuring an unprecedented prize pool intended to celebrate three decades of the game. Because two tickets hit the jackpot, the massive sum will be split between winners in different regions of Brazil.
Caixa Econômica Federal conducted the draw for contest No. 3,010 [3]. The event took place at the Espaço da Sorte in São Paulo [5]. The winning numbers were 03, 30, 33, 35, 45, and 47 [6].
One winning ticket was sold in Fortaleza, Ceará, and the other in Rio de Janeiro [2]. The exact total prize amount reached R$ 336,340,043.67 [0].
Beyond the jackpot winners, several thousand other players received smaller payouts for partial matches. A total of 590 bets matched five numbers, with each winning R$ 13,890.02 [7, 8]. Additionally, 37,565 bets matched four numbers, resulting in a prize of R$ 311.65 per ticket [9, 10].
The draw occurred on May 15, 2026 [4]. The special edition was designed to attract a higher volume of participants by offering a significantly larger prize than standard weekly draws.

The distribution of the jackpot between two distant cities, Fortaleza in the northeast and Rio de Janeiro in the southeast, highlights the national reach of the Mega-Sena. By utilizing a special anniversary draw to inflate the prize pool, Caixa Econômica Federal successfully drove high engagement, as evidenced by the tens of thousands of secondary-tier winners.
