Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.

Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

Every source for this story reports from Brazil.

The Mega-Sena contest 3051 drawn on Sunday, June 30, in São Paulo resulted in no winners for the main prize of approximately R$ 29.3 million. As a result, the jackpot will accumulate and could reach R$ 36 million for the next draw on Tuesday, July 1. The winning numbers were 11, 21, 15, 20, 48, and 38.

While the top prize remained unclaimed, 35 bets correctly guessed five numbers, with each winner receiving R$ 55,635.04. Additionally, 2,706 bets correctly guessed four numbers, earning R$ 1,186.14 each.

A simple bet costs R$ 6. For draws on Tuesdays and Thursdays, bets can be placed until 8 p.m. at lottery houses, the Loterias Online portal, or the Loterias Caixa app. Digital pools have a slightly later deadline of 8:30 p.m. on those days. For Sunday draws, simple bets must be placed by 10 p.m. on the preceding Saturday, while digital pools close at 10:45 a.m. on Sunday.

According to Caixa, the probability of winning with a simple six number bet is one in over 50 million. Higher probability bets are available for a higher cost, such as a seven number bet for R$ 42 or a maximum twenty number bet for R$ 232,560. Payments for online bets can be made via Pix, credit card, or internet banking for Caixa account holders. Participants must be 18 years or older.
