Santos bettor hit all 15 Lotofácil numbers and took home over R$ 1.2 million after registering winning ticket at lottery shop inside a supermarket in Vila Mathias. The main prize of the contest was divided among only four winners in different Brazilian capitals.

A bettor from Santos, on the coast of São Paulo, hit all 15 numbers of Lotofácil contest 3677 and secured R$ 1,217,901.82 by sharing the main prize with three other winners in the draw held on May 5, 2026.

Registered at Marapé Loterias, located inside a supermarket at Avenida Senador Pinheiro Machado, 249, the Santos bet was among the four that reached the maximum prize tier of the modality nationwide.

While Santos appeared among the contest winners, other winning bets were registered in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Manaus, causing the main prize to be equally divided among the four winning tickets.

Santos Lottery Shop Registered Millionaire Bet

Located in the Vila Mathias region, the unit where the millionaire bet came from operates inside a very busy supermarket on Avenida Senador Pinheiro Machado and is known by city residents as Marapé Loterias.

Although the contest had an estimated prize of R$ 5.5 million, the amount had to be divided because four bets hit all the drawn numbers, preventing the sum from accumulating for the next contest.

According to information released by Caixa Econômica Federal, the winners made simple bets, with the exception of the game registered in Manaus, Amazonas, which contained 16 numbers marked on the ticket.

Numbers Drawn in Lotofácil 3677

In contest 3677, the drawn numbers were 01, 02, 03, 08, 09, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 22, 23 and 24, in a draw held at Espaço da Sorte, in São Paulo, a location used by Caixa for official draws.

Although the order of disclosure may vary according to the panel displayed during the broadcast or the presentation made by specialized platforms, the valid result considers the official set of 15 drawn numbers.

In addition to the four bettors who hit all the numbers and shared the main prize tier, Lotofácil also distributed smaller amounts to those who had 14, 13, 12, and 11 hits, according to the traditional rules of the modality.

Prizes Also Went Out in São Paulo, Rio, and Manaus

Other winning bets for the main prize tier were registered in the São Paulo capital, Rio de Janeiro, and Manaus, confirming that the four winning tickets came from different cities in this edition of Lotofácil.

In the capital of São Paulo, the winning game was registered at Casa Lotérica São Miguel, while the Rio prize came from lotérica Boa Sorte and the Manaus bet was made at Loteria do Parque.

After the official distribution disclosed by Caixa Econômica Federal, each of the winners became entitled to just over R$ 1.2 million, an amount corresponding to the full division of the main prize tier of contest 3677.

How Lotofácil Prize Distribution Works

In Lotofácil, bettors choose numbers from the 25 available on the ticket, while prizes are awarded to those who manage to hit 11, 12, 13, 14, or all 15 numbers drawn in each contest.

When more than one ticket reaches the main prize tier, the prize is automatically divided among all winners, exactly as happened in contest 3677, which ended with four bets hitting all the numbers.

In addition to the rules on prize distribution, Caixa Econômica Federal informs that participation in lotteries is only permitted for individuals over 18 years old and recommends checking the results through the institution’s official channels.

Next Lotofácil Contest Starts at R$ 2 Million

With the division of the main prize among four winners, Caixa’s estimate for the next Lotofácil contest returned to the R$ 2 million level, as the amount did not accumulate after the draw.

As the modality holds frequent contests throughout the week, the estimated values may vary according to the collection and the number of winners registered in each edition promoted by Caixa Econômica Federal.

In the case of the bettor from Santos, the millionaire prize came from a ticket registered inside a supermarket in the city, although the information that he would have gone there to buy bread does not appear confirmed in the available official data.
