The remodeled spaces gained new names: ‘Sala de Milhões’ (Millions Room), which is where the draws take place; ‘Quintal dos Sonhos’(Backyard of Dreams), where anyone can relax or just dream about the big Lottery prize; and the ‘Espaço de Coworking’ (Coworking Space), which can be used as a work and living area.
Accessible for people with disabilities, the external part of the space focuses on the public on Avenida Paulista, in Sao Paulo, offering various activities on the themes of sport, culture, music and arts. Internally, it offers a collaborative or co-existing place to work.
"The Espaço da Sorte on Avenida Paulista was opened in 2021 and gave even more visibility and transparency to the draw process, providing more interactivity with the public. Now, the idea is that Brazilians feel welcomed by this place and start to frequent it more,” comments the president of CAIXA, Maria Rita Serrano, who will visit the new facilities accompanied by the vice-president of the Operating Agent, Lucíola Aor Vasconcelos.
“In addition to working on the dream of changing lives, individually, we, in practice, change people's lives with the Lotteries because part of the resources collected from the lotteries are invested in the country,” added Serrano.
During the visit, the artist Odrus will personalize barrels using graffiti. Odrus is one of the artists who make up the “20 Extraordinary Years” Exhibition, on display in the seven spaces of CAIXA Cultural.
It will also be possible to exclusively check out Caixa Hollo, an environment with virtual representations of Paralympic athletes, where the public can interact with the holographs and learn about the athletes' inspiring stories. The attraction will be available from September 15th to 22nd.
Exhibition “20 Extraordinary Years”
Between the 15th and 29th of September, Espaço da Sorte will feature some pieces from the “20 Extraordinary Years” exhibition, on display across the country by CAIXA Cultural, which celebrates 20 years of Loterias CAIXA sponsorship of the Brazilian Paralympic Committee.
