- 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 owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Every source for this story reports from Brazil.
A single bet placed in Blumenau, Santa Catarina, won the Mega-Sena contest 3048 drawn on Sunday, August 23. The winning ticket claimed a prize of R$ 57,261,598.09. The winning numbers drawn at the Espaço da Sorte in São Paulo were 02, 06, 27, 39, 44, and 50. A simple bet for the lottery costs R$ 6, with odds of winning the jackpot at approximately one in 50 million. Prizes must be claimed within 90 days or the funds are transferred to the National Treasury for the Fies student loan program. While most reports focused on the results and how to play, one center leaning outlet provided a financial analysis of how the winnings would yield returns in savings, Tesouro Direto, or CDB accounts.
