The Mega-Sena holds a draw on Thursday for an estimated prize of R$ 76 million. No bet managed to match the six numbers of contest 3,055, held on Tuesday, and the amount accumulated again. The estimated prize is the largest of the year so far.
According to a survey published by UOL, the monthly earnings from the prize range from approximately R$ 510 thousand to R$ 650 thousand, depending on the chosen investment. The calculations consider compound interest, current market rates and, when applicable, the Income Tax deduction.
The prize announced by Caixa already corresponds to the amount available to the winner, with lottery taxation deducted at source. The returns obtained subsequently from investing the amount, however, may be subject to the tax rules of each investment.
If the R$ 76 million were deposited in savings, the monthly return would be approximately R$ 510 thousand. The article mentions that earnings can reach R$ 650 thousand per month if the amount is invested in other vehicles.
