For this draw, three bets matched all the winning numbers and shared the top prize, which totaled around R$2 million. Each of the three winning bets earned more than R$561,000.
A bet in Lotofácil can be placed by a single person or by a group who buy a ticket together, splitting the winnings if they win. It is not yet known from the summary whether these three winning bets were made by individuals or groups.
Lotofácil is run by Caixa, the Brazilian government-owned bank that manages most of the country's lottery games. Draws happen almost every day, and millions of Brazilians take part regularly, hoping to win.
Winning the top prize in Lotofácil is rare, since it requires correctly guessing all 15 numbers among 25 possibilities. Because of this difficulty, prizes can grow large before being won, though in this case, three separate bets managed to match the winning numbers on the same draw.
Lottery winnings like this one often generate public interest in Brazil, both because of the sums of money involved and because they highlight how popular games like Lotofácil remain across the country.
