Fifteen numbers are drawn from 25, so every bet shares most of its numbers with the draw by construction. That is why eleven hits, the smallest prize, is so common: 1 in 11.4.

Playing more numbers

Lotofácil lets you mark more numbers than are drawn. Each extra number multiplies the combinations your bet covers, and the price multiplies with them: the odds per unit of money spent do not improve.

Playing more numbers covers more combinations and costs as many tickets as it covers.
