The January enforcement affected lottery outlets operating in eight states, with São Paulo recording the highest number of revoked permits. Seven units in the state lost authorization, including Loterica Navegantes Ltda ME in Diadema; Muita Sorte Loterias Ltda ME in São Paulo city; Lotérica Coroados Ltda in Coroados; Previdelli & Mendes Loterias Ltda in Morro Agudo; Loterica Santa Sarah Kali Ltda in Gália; Loterica Gouveia Ltda EPP in Itapetininga; and Lopes Casas Lotéricas Ltda EPP in Paulistânia.

According to Febralot, the lottery retail sector currently comprises 13.109 units across Brazil, operates in 98% of municipalities, and generates approximately 70 direct jobs, while providing essential services, promoting financial inclusion, and supporting local economic activity.
