Caixa Loterias is negotiating with Brazil's Secretariat of Prizes and Betting on a special Mega-Sena draw for the lottery's 30th anniversary, according to information presented by Febralot president Ricardo Amado.

Caixa Loterias generated BRL5.97 billion in revenue in Q1 2026, according to the report.
