Lotofácil odds at a glance
Lotofácil is drawn by Caixa Econômica Federal (Brazil's federal lottery operator) from a pool of 25 numbers, with 15 drawn each time. A minimum bet marks 15 numbers on your ticket; to win the jackpot, all 15 of your numbers must be among the 15 drawn. The odds of that are 1 in 3,268,760 for a minimum bet.
Those odds are fixed by the 25-number field and the fact that all 15 numbers are drawn — no strategy changes them. Lotofácil pays out on a wide range of match tiers, though: anything from 11 matches upward wins a prize, which is why the overall odds of winning something are a relatively generous 1 in 11, among the shortest "any prize" odds of any major lottery.
Full Lotofácil prize tier table
The table above lists all 5 prize tiers, computed from the official 15-from-25 matrix. Players can also mark 16 to 20 numbers on a single ticket for a much higher stake, which covers more of the possible combinations and proportionally shortens the odds at every tier — Caixa publishes the exact multiplied stakes and improved odds for each additional number on its official ticket-price table.
The 11, 12 and 13-match tiers pay fixed amounts (subject to periodic adjustment by Caixa); the 14 and 15-match tiers are pari-mutuel, splitting a share of the prize pool among that draw's winners, so payouts vary draw to draw.
How Lotofácil prizes are actually paid
Lotofácil is a Brazilian federal lottery, so prizes are paid in Brazilian reais (R$) and are subject to Brazilian income tax on lottery winnings for prizes above the tax-exempt threshold set by Brazilian law — check current Receita Federal rules for the exact rate and threshold, since these are periodically updated. Non-resident winners should also check their own country's tax treatment of foreign lottery winnings. Prizes are collected through Caixa's lottery agent network or its official channels; large pari-mutuel jackpots (14 and 15 matches) are typically paid as a single lump sum.
Are the odds worth it?
Lotofácil's jackpot odds (1 in 3,268,760) are dramatically shorter than the big international jackpot games like Powerball or SuperEnalotto, simply because you're picking 15 numbers from a small 25-number pool instead of a handful from a much larger one. The trade-off is a correspondingly smaller typical jackpot.

Frequently asked questions
What are the odds of winning the Lotofácil jackpot?
1 in 3,268,760 for a minimum 15-number bet — you must match all 15 numbers drawn from the pool of 25. These odds are fixed by the number field and cannot be improved by any strategy, though marking more numbers on one ticket does shorten them proportionally at a higher cost.
What are the odds of winning any Lotofácil prize?
About 1 in 11 per bet, across 5 prize tiers from 11 to 15 matches. Most of those wins are the smaller fixed-value tiers — see the full table above.
How many prize tiers does Lotofácil have?
5. They range from the jackpot (15 of 15) down to the smallest paying tier (11 of 15), each with its own odds and prize, listed in the table above.
Can you improve your Lotofácil odds?
Not the odds of a minimum 15-number bet — those are set by the matrix. Marking more numbers (up to 20) on one ticket shortens the odds but costs proportionally more, and buying more separate bets increases your overall chance without making a win likely. Treat it as entertainment within a budget.
