Dia de Sorte Lottery: Results for Draw 1262 Announced, No Jackpot Winner
The results for Draw 1262 of Brazil's Dia de Sorte lottery, held on Monday, January 3rd, have been released. The winning numbers drawn were 3, 6, 13, 15, 18, 24, and 26, with January selected as the "Mês da Sorte" (Month of Luck).
In this draw, one ticket matched all seven numbers, earning a prize of R$ 111,645.61. Thirty-seven tickets correctly identified six numbers, with each receiving R$ 1,847.41. Additionally, 9,505 tickets matched four numbers, each awarded R$ 5, and 943 tickets matched five numbers, receiving R$ 25 each. The "Mês da Sorte" prize was awarded to 23,036 participants, with each receiving R$ 2.50. Due to the distribution of prizes across multiple tiers, the jackpot did not roll over, and the lottery will not accumulate for the next draw.
The next Dia de Sorte drawing is scheduled for Tuesday, January 4th. The game allows players to select between 7 and 15 numbers from a pool of 31, plus one "Mês da Sorte." Options like "Surpresinha" (random number selection) and "Teimosinha" (repeating a bet for multiple draws) are available. The base cost for a ticket is R$ 2.50, with prize money allocated from 43.79% of the total collection. The "Mês da Sorte" prize is awarded independently.
This lottery draw, managed by Caixa Econômica Federal, demonstrates a common prize distribution model where a portion of ticket sales funds prizes across multiple winning tiers. The absence of a jackpot winner in this specific draw, while resulting in no accumulation, highlights the probabilistic nature of such games and the significant number of participants who achieve smaller wins. The game's structure, with its fixed prize amounts for lower tiers and a percentage-based distribution for the top prizes, aims to ensure consistent payouts and maintain player engagement. Future analysis could explore the long-term impact of this prize structure on overall revenue and player participation trends, particularly in the context of evolving entertainment and investment options.
