Loterias CAIXA collections in 2022 totaled R$ 23.2 billion (US$ 4.45b), which represents an increase of 25.7% compared to the results of 2021, when amounts reached R$ 18.5 billion (US$ 3.55b), a previous record.
In the last year, Loterias CAIXA presented the best result in its history. This historical collection mark represents a sustained growth made possible by actions developed to leverage performance, such as the launch of +Milionária, the new Timemania, the implementation of QR Codes in betting receipts and the expansion of multiple bets on the Mega-Sena to up to 20 numbers.
Considering the prizes offered in 2022, a total of R$ 8 billion (US$ 1.53b), the amounts represent 23.4% more than in 2021, when the CAIXA Lotteries registered R$ 6.5 billion (US$ 1.24b).
Collection by products
Once again, the Mega-Sena is the main modality of Loterias CAIXA, responsible for the highest percentage of collection, corresponding to 47% of the total collected, that is, more than R$ 10.9 billion (US$ 2.1b).
Next is Lotofácil, responsible for R$6.6 billion (US$ 1.26b) and a 28.3% share of CAIXA's gaming portfolio. In third place, with a 13.1% share, Quina raised more than R$ 3 billion (US$ 575m).
Special contests
In 2022, four special contests were held: Dupla de Easter, Quina de São João, Lotofácil da Independência and Mega da Virada. In the four contests, more than R$ 1.3 billion (US$ 249m) were offered in prizes. The sale of the four special competitions in 2022 totaled more than R$ 2.9 billion (US$ 556m), 20.7% more than the 2021 editions.
The biggest draw of Loterias CAIXA, the Mega da Virada, celebrated its 14th edition with the biggest prize in the history of the entity, in the amount of R$ 541.9 million (US$ 104m). There were 5 winning bets in the main bracket and each one received R$ 108,393,993.26 (US$ 20.8m).
Mega da Virada 2022 also registered a record collection, surpassing R$ 1.9 billion (US$ 364m), 29.6% above the previous record, in the 2021 edition.
Transfers
Loterias CAIXA transferred R$ 10.9 billion (US$ 2.1b) in 2022 in social benefits to several priority areas in the country, such as security, public safety, health, education, sports and culture.
The amounts transferred to legal beneficiaries last year were a record and represented a 23% growth in relation to transfers made in 2021, when Loterias CAIXA transferred R$ 8.8 billion (US$ 1.7b).
Social Transfer is the core activity of Loterias CAIXA which, in addition to fueling the dreams of millions of players, constitute an important source of funds to foster social development in Brazil.
This is because almost half of the total collected from the games, including the percentage destined for Income Tax, is passed on to investment in priority areas of the country.
