Lottery vendor wins again in the Mega-Sena lottery and splits the R$ 166,5 million prize.

Businessman and lottery operator Alessandro Montenegro has won the Mega-Sena lottery again. Just a few months after becoming nationally known for winning a prize of approximately R$ 168 million, the owner of Loteria Aldeota has once again become a winner in Brazil's main lottery game.

This time, the win came in Mega-Sena contest 3042 , in a group bet of 15 numbers and 100 shares that correctly guessed the six numbers and won the main prize of R$ 166.515.272,00 . Alessandro was once again among the participants.

The lottery pool cost R$ 405 per share, and each winning bettor will receive R$ 1.665.152,72, including Alessandro.

This latest victory makes Alessandro reach an even more unusual milestone: this is his 9th major award in 2026 alone , won in different categories this year.

And the new Mega-Sena has a special meaning. It was precisely a victory in this lottery that brought Alessandro national prominence in May, when he participated in another winning group bet worth approximately R$ 168 million. Now, in the same year, he is once again part of a group bet that correctly guessed all six numbers and won more than R$ 166 million.

Nine major awards in just eight months.

The second Mega-Sena win crowns a series of results for Alessandro in 2026.

Since the beginning of the year, he has already been among the winners of nine major prizes, including Mega-Sena, Lotofácil, Quina de São João, and Dia de Sorte.

Among his achievements is also the largest prize ever paid out in a regular Lotofácil draw in history, approximately R$ 14,4 million, in addition to the R$ 27,28 million prize from the Quina de São João.

The sequence gains even more prominence because Alessandro personally participates in the main group bets organized by the Aldeota Lottery.

“Luck is the last ingredient in the lottery. Before it, there is a lot of work, planning, knowledge of the different game types, probability analysis, and years of perfecting how we put together our group bets. Our goal is to offer clients the best possible mathematical strategy to compete for big prizes. We are very happy when we manage to transform this work into achievements for so many people. I am the one who believes most in our group bets—it's no coincidence that I participate in them along with the clients,” emphasizes Alessandro.

Aldeota Lottery reaches its 15th main prize.

The result of contest 3042 also establishes a new record for the Aldeota Lottery.

With this achievement, the company reaches its 15th major award in its history , which includes:

⇒ 3 main prizes of Mega-Sena;

⇒ Top 10 prizes in Lotofácil;

⇒ 1 main prize from the Quina de São João lottery;

⇒ 1 main prize from Dia de Sorte.

Of these 15 prizes, nine were won in 2026 alone , making it the most awarded year in the history of the Aldeota Lottery.

The new result also represents a significant jump in the historical volume of prizes distributed by the lottery. Before this Mega-Sena, the company had already accumulated hundreds of millions of reais in prizes awarded to its customers. Now, an additional R$ 166,5 million will be added to this record.

With this prize, the Aldeota Lottery now totals 555 million reais in prizes paid out and 730 winners of main prizes, including 235 millionaires.

“That’s nine major prizes in a single year and 15 throughout our history. These are numbers that make us very happy, but what matters most is looking at each group bet and knowing that there are hundreds of families celebrating with us. That’s what we work for every day,” concludes Alessandro Montenegro.
