Mega-Sena vs Tennessee Cash
Both are lotteries where you pick a set of numbers and win the jackpot by matching them all. The table above compares the two on the things that actually differ — how long the jackpot odds are, how big the current pot is, what a line costs and how many prize tiers each pays.
Purely on jackpot odds, a single Tennessee Cash line is about 31 times more likely to hit its top prize than a single Mega-Sena line (1 in 1,623,160 versus 1 in 50,063,860). That is arithmetic, not advice — the two games’ jackpots, prices and tiers differ too.
Mega-Sena has no separate bonus ball — prizes come from the main numbers alone. In Tennessee Cash you also pick 1 bonus ball from a separate 1–5 pool — it is part of your line and of the jackpot itself.
Remember the odds are fixed and independent of any past draw, and every combination is equally likely — a comparison like this is about the games, not a tip on what to play. You can look up either game’s full history and check any line for free on this site.
