Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Key number work in Totoloto?▾
The Key is a number between 1 and 13, drawn on a separate drum, independent of the 5 main numbers. It only interferes with the 1st category (5 hits + Key) and the 6th category (0 hits + Key). For the intermediate categories (3rd, 4th and 5th), the Key is not considered.
What is the deadline to claim the prizes?▾
Prizes must be claimed within 90 days from the draw date. After this period, unclaimed prizes revert to the Gaming Fund.
Does the jackpot have a guaranteed minimum amount?▾
Yes, the Totoloto jackpot starts from a minimum value set by Santa Casa. If there is no winner, the jackpot rolls over to the next draw. After long rollover streaks, Santa Casa may apply a mandatory payout rule to distribute the accumulated jackpot.
