In Total, 719 People Awarded by the Fiscal Note Lottery in Mato Grosso do Sul Have Not Withdrawn Amounts Totaling R$ 507 Thousand; According to UOL, the Nota MS Premiada Program Has Already Distributed R$ 2.4 Million Just in 2025, but a Significant Portion of the Prizes Expire and Go to the Social Interest Housing Fund.
The Finance Department of Mato Grosso do Sul Issued a Warning: 719 Winners of the Fiscal Note Lottery Have Not Withdrawn Their Prizes, Representing R$ 507 Thousand at Stake. The Data is Part of the Report of the Nota MS Premiada, a State Program That Encourages Consumers to Request Their CPF (Tax ID) on All Purchases.
According to Information from UOL, the Program Has Already Distributed R$ 2.4 Million from January to August 2025, Benefiting 1,070 People. However, Indifference or Forgetfulness of Some Winners Means That Part of the Amounts Goes Lost: Just This Year, Another R$ 650 Thousand Expired and Was Destined for the Social Interest Housing Fund.
How the Fiscal Note Lotteries Work
The Nota MS Premiada Holds Monthly Draws Linked to the Results of Mega-Sena and Quina.

How to build a floating island from scratch with reeds, giant blocks, and stakes in the lake in a process that needs to be repeated almost every day.

A forgotten cord on the floor of a basement in Vienna leads a plumber to a box containing 30 kilograms of gold with Mozart’s face, hidden before World War II. The treasure, worth 2.3 million euros, was just centimeters away from a worker who ignored the sign a day earlier.

In Total, R$ 300 Thousand Is Distributed Every Month, with R$ 100 Thousand for Those Who Pick the Correct Numbers from Mega and R$ 200 Thousand Divided Among the Contributors Matching the Numbers from Quina.
The Amounts Are Distributed According to the Number of Winners, Ensuring That More Citizens Are Awarded.
In Some Cases, the Prize Reaches Significant Amounts: One of the Winners, for Example, Took Home R$ 25 Thousand After Buying Just One Bottle of Mineral Water for R$ 1.99.
Why So Many Prizes Go Unclaimed
According to the Rules, the Winner Has Up to 90 Days to Request the Withdrawal. After This Period, the Money is No Longer Returned to the Contributor.
The Problem is That Many Winners Are Unaware That They Have Won, As Checking Requires Access to the Program’s Official Website.
This Lack of Monitoring Leads to Hundreds of Prizes Being Forgotten.
The Department Emphasizes That Consumers Should Regularly Check the Nota MS Premiada Website to Avoid Losing Their Rights to the Funds.
Financial and Social Impact
In Addition to the Frustration of Unmindful Winners, the Accumulation of Unclaimed Prizes Has Direct Effects on Public Policies.
The R$ 650 Thousand That Missed the Deadline in 2025 Has Already Been Allocated to the Social Interest Housing Fund, Focused on Popular Housing Projects.
However, Experts Remind That the Central Objective of the Fiscal Note Lotteries is to Encourage Tax Citizenship.
By Requesting the CPF on the Receipt, the Consumer Helps Reduce Tax Evasion and Increases State Revenues, Strengthening the Public Service Network.
How to Participate and Check Results
Participating is Simple: Any Purchase Starting at R$ 1 Can Generate a Ticket for the Draws, Provided the CPF is Informed at the Time of Issuance.
To Check if One Has Been Awarded, Just Access the Official Website of the Nota MS Premiada Program and Enter Personal Details.
The Department Recommends That Contributors Check the Portal After Each Mega-Sena and Quina Draw, Avoiding Missing Prizes That Can Range from Modest Amounts to Life-Changing Sums for the Winner.
The Report Reveals a Paradoxical Scenario: While Thousands Have Already Received Significant Amounts from the Fiscal Note Lotteries, Hundreds of Prizes Remain Forgotten, Totaling Over Half a Million Reais in 2025.
For the Government, the Message is Clear: Monitoring Results is Just as Important as Requesting the CPF on the Receipt.
And You? Do You Usually Check If You Have Been Awarded in the Fiscal Note Lotteries? Do You Think the 90-Day Deadline is Sufficient or Should It Be Longer? Share Your Opinion in the Comments — Your Experience Can Help Improve the Program.
Muito bom
Excellent breakdown, I completely agree with the challenges you described. For our projects we started using an AI-driven system called AI link building by OptiLinkAI, and it has simplified the entire process. It’s refreshing to see technology finally making link acquisition smarter, not just faster.
