Bolsonaro changes clubs participating in Caixa’s Timemania

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro signed this Monday (27) a decree to change the rule governing the participation of football clubs in Timemania, one of traditional Caixa Loterias’ games. The text provides that the clubs that are members of the A and B series of the Brazilian Championship, in the last biennium, will be able to participate in the aforementioned lottery. Justification for change is to update the lottery modality.

"Soon, as an example, for the year 2021, the clubs that participated in the national championship in the 2019/2020 biennium will be selected to integrate Timemania, in its next competitions," explained the General Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic, in a statement, when justifying the change of teams present in the lottery modality.

The current model, according to SGPR, is “completely outdated”, as it only considers the teams participating in Serie A and B of the 2007 Brazilian Championship.

Thus, the change brings a flexible and dynamic model for defining the participants of Timemania,” the folder continues.

In Timemania, the person chooses 10 numbers among the 80 available and a Heart Team. Seven numbers and one Heart Team are drawn per contest. Winning bettors are those who have three to seven hits, or those who hit the Heart Team.
