How to Play
To play Lotofácil, you have to select numbers from 1 to 25. You must pick at least 15, but you can choose as many as 20. If you don’t want to select your own, the Surpresinha option will give you a set of numbers at random.
You can enter the same numbers into 3, 6, 12, 18 or 24 consecutive draws in advance. It costs R$2.50 for a single set of 15 numbers. The table below shows how the cost of entry goes up as you select more numbers and cover more combinations.
| Numbers Played | Number of Different Combinations | Cost of Entry |
|---|---|---|
| 15 | 1 | R$2.50 |
| 16 | 16 | R$40 |
| 17 | 136 | R$340 |
| 18 | 816 | R$2,040 |

Prizes
You need to match all 15 numbers to win the Lotofácil top prize. If nobody matches all the numbers, the top prize accumulates for the next draw. There are also four other ways to win, starting from matching as few as 11 numbers.
The bottom three prize tiers have fixed amounts, which are paid out first. The remainder of the prize fund is distributed to the top two categories as shown in the table below.
| Prize Tier | How to Win | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| Jackpot | Match 15 Numbers | 62% of Prize Fund |
| Tier 2 | Match 14 Numbers | 13% of Prize Fund |
| Tier 3 | Match 13 Numbers | R$25 |
| Tier 4 | Match 12 Numbers | R$10 |
| Tier 5 | Match 11 Numbers | R$5 |
Ten percent of the prize money from every draw also goes towards the Lotofácil draws which end in 0, so the top prize is always guaranteed to get a boost in every tenth draw. The remaining 15 percent of the prize fund from every draw is kept for the yearly Lotofácil da Independência draw.
Regardless of how much you win, you need to claim prizes within 90 days of the draw taking place.
