Summary

Mega Sena is a little different. This lottery doesn’t simply use one machine to draw numbers from 1 to 60. Instead, two numbers are drawn separately for each winning number. One drum has 0 to 5, and the other has 0 to 9. 00 counts as 60.

This looks like a well-run lottery. It’s been around since 1996 with Caixa operating lotteries since 1961, so it seems like they know what they are doing.
