- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
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.

The main prize for Mega-Sena contest 3054 has accumulated to an estimated 70 million reais for the next draw on Tuesday, October 8, because no bettor correctly guessed all six numbers. The draw took place on Sunday, October 6, in São Paulo, with the winning numbers being 08, 17, 24, 43, 47, and 58. The jackpot for this specific draw was 47.4 million reais.
While the top prize was not won, over 5,000 bets received partial prizes. Seventy-eight bets correctly guessed five numbers, winning 30,145.38 reais each, and 5,268 bets guessed four numbers, winning 735.73 reais each. One of the five-number winning bets was registered in Parnaíba, Piauí, while several other partial winners were also located within the state of Piauí.
According to Caixa Econômica Federal, the probability of winning the jackpot with a simple six-number bet, which costs 6 reais, is one in over 50 million. For those who bet 20 numbers, the maximum allowed, the probability increases to one in 1,292.
