The largest lottery in Brazil, Mega Sena, is organized by Caixa Econômica Federal bank, a government-owned Brazilian bank, and it has been making Brazilians happy since 1996. The first draw in Mega Sena lottery history took place in March 1996. Since then, Mega Sena is drawn every Wednesday and Saturday evening. The draw is televised on the local TV station and somewhat bears resemblance to the biggest Spanish lottery El Gordo. These two are similar in the fact that both draws include numbers being drawn from two spheres. Also in Mega Sena draws, just as with El Gordo, numbers are drawn in pairs. Picked numbers then form a two digit number from 01 to 60. The first sphere carries numbers from 0 to 6 which represent the first digit and the second one numbers from 0 to 9 to represent the second digit. If 00 is drawn, it counts as 60. When all 12 numbers, which form 6 two-digit numbers, are drawn, they show the winning combination for that draw.
