Petrobras received authorization from Ibama to drill three new exploratory wells in the Amazon Mouth Basin, located on the coast of Amapá, a region that is part of the Equatorial Margin.

The Brazilian state-owned company is already defining the next steps to start the drilling planning, including the study of bringing a drill ship from Buzios to the region.

The authorization from the environmental agency represents an advance for the oil exploration plans in the Brazilian Equatorial Margin, an area that has sparked interest from the oil industry.

The article indicates that the company intends to start drilling the new wells within three months, following the necessary regulatory and environmental procedures.

Group buys more than 25 million lottery combinations in the USA, spends R$ 133 million and receives R$ 296 million

A group of bettors in Austin, Texas, bought about 25.8 million possible combinations of the Lotto Texas lottery in April 2023, spending approximately US$ 26 million (R$ 133 million). The strategy was considered mathematically advantageous because the accumulated jackpot had reached US$ 95 million (R$ 490 million). By purchasing practically all possible combinations, the group significantly reduced the chance of missing the main prize. The operation required large-scale logistics, with millions of tickets printed in just a few days. The group won and chose to receive the prize in a single lump sum, getting about US$ 57.8 million (R$ 296 million).
