The proposal, pending in the Chamber of Deputies, deals with the lotteries mentioned in Law 11.345 / 06, such as Mega-Sena, Timemania, Loteca and Federal.
Currently, this standard allocates money to the Student Financing Fund (Fies).
According to the author, deputy Aureo Ribeiro (Solidariedade-RJ), the prizes not withdrawn totaled R$312 million (US$55m) in 2020.
"The resources will be able to help in the hiring of professionals and in the purchase of medicines and vaccines," says Ribeiro.
