The Caixa Econômica Federal changed the process of receiving prizes for gamblers who perform electronic games through official digital channels. From this Monday, winners of online lotteries can opt for payment via Pix or with credit card, provided the prize value does not exceed R$ 2.428,80.

The processing system for card transactions was transferred from the Mercado Pago platform to Azulzinha, which began to operate since Monday (9). The change restricts exclusively to bets made by the official portal or application of Loterias Caixa. For those who participate in lottery houses in person, traditional procedures remain unchanged, requiring presentation of receipt and identification document at the agency for redemption.
