How to Play
Quina draws take place every day from Monday to Saturday, at approximately 8pm. You can take part online or through lottery retailers across Brazil. Follow the steps below to play Quina:
- Choose your numbers from 1 to 80 – select a minimum of five up to a maximum of 15. You can pick your own or allow the computer system to do it at random by playing a Surpresinha.
- Decide how many draws – You can enter the same numbers into just the next draw, or play them in 3, 6, 12, 18 or 24 consecutive draws.
- Pay for your entries – It costs R$2 per play. The more numbers you select, the greater your chances of winning but the higher the cost.
The following table shows how many combinations you have when you select between five and 15 numbers, and the equivalent cost of entry.

Prizes
To win a prize, you need to match at least two of the five winning numbers. You must correctly match all five to win the Quina prize. A percentage of the prize fund is allocated to each tier, as shown in the table below.
| Prize Tier | How to Win | Percentage of Prize Pool |
|---|---|---|
| Jackpot - Quina | Match 5 Numbers | 35% |
| Tier 2 - Quadra | Match 4 Numbers | 15% |
| Tier 3 - Terno | Match 3 Numbers | 10% |
| Tier 4 - Duque | Match 2 Numbers | 10% |
There is 30 percent of the prize money left in a regular draw. Half of this money (15 percent of the total prize fund) is set aside for every Quina draw ending in 5. Every tenth draw therefore has an enhanced Quina prize. The top prize accumulates each time it is not won and regularly grows into the tens of millions of reals.
The remaining 15 percent of the prize money for each draw goes towards the annual Quina de São João draw, which is the biggest Quina event of the year.

The overall odds of winning a Quina prize are 1 in 34 for each individual combination of numbers. Your chances of winning the top prize are 1 in 24,040,016.
