Deu no Bicho

A Brazilian cultural tradition since 1892

Jogo do bicho (the animal game) was created in 1892 at Vila Isabel Zoo in Rio de Janeiro. Over 130+ years it became part of Brazil's urban folklore — showing up in samba lyrics, cinema, literature and daily slang. For international readers, it's closer in cultural weight to the Italian Smorfia or the Chinese Zodiac numbers than to modern sports betting.

Jogo do bicho is a criminal misdemeanor in Brazil (Decree-Law 3,688/1941). This site is an educational/cultural resource. We do not accept or process bets from outside Brazil.

Live results — jogo do bicho

Jogo do bicho is a Brazilian lottery-style game running dozens of draws per day across multiple state operators. Live results are aggregated on the Portuguese hub — this page explains the drawing systems for English readers.

Where results come from

The main draw sources are: PT-Rio (five draws per day from Rio de Janeiro — PPT, PTM, PTV, PTN and Corujinha), Loteria Federal (Caixa) on Wednesdays and Saturdays (19:00 Brasília time), and 15+ regional bancas (LBR, LOOK-Goiás, LOTEP-Paraíba, etc.). All of these publish the drawn 4-digit combinations that determine the 25 animal groups.

How to read a result

A jogo do bicho draw produces five 4-digit numbers (prêmios 1 through 5). Each 4-digit combination maps to one of the 25 animal groups based on its final two digits (dezena). Group 01 (Ostrich) covers dezenas 01-04, Group 02 (Eagle) covers 05-08, and so on through Group 25 (Cow) which covers 97-00. The mapping is fixed and identical across all Brazilian operators.
