Mega-Sena Drawing This Thursday
For those dreaming of a big win, Caixa Econômica Federal will be holding the drawing for contest 2836 of the Mega-Sena lottery this Thursday, March 6th, at 8 PM. The main prize, which is not cumulative, is estimated to be around R$ 3.5 million. So, get your tickets ready and keep your fingers crossed!
FGTS Birthday Withdrawal Updates
There are a couple of important changes to the FGTS birthday withdrawal program. First, Caixa Econômica Federal has announced a change in the payment schedule for the FGTS birthday withdrawal for workers born in March who have opted for this withdrawal method. If you were born in March and are part of this program, be sure to check the updated schedule to know when you can expect your funds.
Secondly, the bank has begun paying out withheld FGTS funds to workers enrolled in the birthday withdrawal program who were unable to access their money when they were dismissed from their jobs. While this is good news, many workers are reportedly disappointed with the amount of money being released. "It's not as much as I hoped," said one worker who preferred to remain anonymous. "I was hoping to pay off more of my debts."
Understanding Your FGTS Options
If you're unsure about your eligibility for the FGTS birthday withdrawal or want to understand the release schedule for retained funds, Caixa Econômica Federal encourages you to check their website or visit a branch. It's important to understand your options and the schedule for accessing your funds, especially if you have a registered FGTS account.
While the amounts being released may be frustrating for some, the opportunity to access these funds can still provide a much-needed financial boost. And, of course, there's always the chance to win big in the Mega-Sena!
