On the evening of Thursday, April 23, 2026, a single bettor from a small town in Brazil turned a modest wager of R$ 3.50 into a life-changing prize by matching all 15 numbers in the Lotofácil draw 3668. The winning ticket, purchased online, secured the top prize of R$ 1,021,173.84, according to official results released by Caixa Econômica Federal.
The draw, conducted at the Espaço da Sorte in São Paulo, produced the winning numbers: 01, 02, 03, 05, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17, 18, 21, and 24. While one ticket claimed the jackpot, 507 other bets matched 14 numbers, each earning R$ 603.31. Among these, 42 came from Minas Gerais, highlighting broad participation across Brazilian states.
This outcome underscores the enduring appeal of Lotofácil, one of Brazil’s most popular lottery games, where players select between 15 and 20 numbers from a pool of 25. The odds of hitting all 15 numbers with a single 15-number selection stand at approximately 1 in 3.2 million, though coverage increases significantly with broader number selection—such as a 20-number bet, which costs R$ 54,264 and improves odds to 1 in 211.
Total revenue from draw 3668 reached R$ 18,871,443.50, reflecting strong public engagement. Prize distribution extended down to 11 correct numbers, with over half a million winners receiving R$ 7 each. The prize for the top tier was slightly below the advertised R$ 2 million estimate due to pari-mutuel calculation based on total sales and number of winners in each tier.
The winner, identified only as a resident of Iracemápolis in São Paulo state, has 90 days from the draw date to claim the prize. Lottery prizes in Brazil must be claimed through authorized Caixa agencies or via electronic channels for online bets, with identity verification required for disbursement.
While the focus remained on the Lotofácil result, other lottery games drew attention on the same day. Quina 7008, drawn earlier, had accumulated to a prize of R$ 34 million, while Mega-Sena 2999 remained unclaimed, rolling over to an estimated R$ 100 million for its next draw. These concurrent developments illustrate how multiple lottery cycles often overlap, sustaining public interest across different games.
For those interested in participating, Caixa Econômica Federal allows bets through physical lottery outlets, its official website, or mobile app. Minimum wager is R$ 2.50, and players may opt for random selection via “Surpresinha” or repeat the same bet across multiple draws using “Teimosinha.” Payment methods include credit and debit cards, PIX, and Mercado Pago.
As with all gambling activities, officials emphasize responsible play. The odds remain steep for top-tier prizes, and participation should be viewed as entertainment rather than investment. No strategy can guarantee success in random number draws.
The next opportunity to play Lotofácil will approach with draw 3669, scheduled for the following evening. Official results and prize breakdowns are published shortly after each draw on the Caixa website and through authorized media partners.
