Draw 3,041: No Top Winner, Prize Rolls Over
The latest Mega-Sena draw, contest number 3,041, was held on Thursday evening in São Paulo with a main prize of R$147 million. No bettor matched all six numbers, so the jackpot rolled over and now stands at an estimated R$165 million for the next draw.
Caixa Econômica Federal, which runs the lottery, confirmed the accumulation. The next chance to win will be on Sunday, part of the regular three-draw-a-week schedule (Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays).
