The $ 280 million announced as the first prize of Mega da Virada, to be drawn on December 31, has materialized the dreams of millions of Brazilians with what they could do with this devil. Some bettors rely on few bets to try their luck, while others do not mind putting a little more money to try. Or much more, in the case of a group of 70 punters who, on Friday (28), closed a dollar at Campo Grande with only three bets totaling R $ 45,000.
The strategy attracts attention: the three leaflets include the maximum number of numbers that can be marked in a single game. To close the 15 dozen, Caixa Econômica Federal charges R $ 17,517.50, the equivalent of 5,005 common bets, or R $ 3. With a lower number, the total falls to R $ 10,550.50.
"If we played at R $ 3.50, it would take 13,000 tickets to be checked later." It's unachievable, "said military officer João Paulo Lima, 30, charged with 39, register the bet Friday in a lottery Capital Center – whose name, for security reasons, had not been revealed, in a procedure accompanied by the report.
The statistic is part of Caixa itself: for a mere six-number wager, the odds of getting all the dozens drawn are one out of 50,063,860. With 15 digits, the probability falls to one in ten thousand in the Seine, 370 in a corner and 37 in one in the court.
If the odds are greater, the risk also increases. "Last year, we formed a group of 50 people and we bet about R $ 30,000, but we did not win," says Lima, even with the setback, who believes in the strategy .
Dream – The figures of Mega da Virada impress, but with the number of people badociated with the dollar, is also diluted in case of victory. If the premium is maintained at 280 million rand – the tendency is that, with the increase in the number of bets, grows and approaches 300 million rand – each participant would be entitled to 4 million rand, (19659002) "Historically, the mega price is not usually very important (at the quota)," admits the bettor, but insists that the value is enough to change the player's life. "Most bettors are thinking of buying a house, a better car and having something to invest."
The bet also involved a small security operation – hence the concern of not revealing where it had been done. The lottery closed the doors to receive circulars and the payment was made by bank transfer. "We looked for other people and, for the sake of trust, we chose this one," he said.
Mega da Virada will be drawn on the night of December 31st. Bets can be made in common lotteries and through the Internet, on the lottery box site, until the day of the draw.
