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.
