Lottery outlets have long since ceased to be just gambling houses and now offer a variety of other services controlled by Caixa Econômica Federal, making life easier for those who need something quicker and don't have time to go to the bank. Depositing at a lottery outlet is one of them.

But do you know the deposit limit at a lottery outlet? And do you know the correct procedures for making this type of deposit? In this article, we'll shed light on this information and show you everything you can do at a lottery outlet.

Stay tuned to the end to learn more about deposits at the Lottery and their limits.

You can deposit money at the lottery shop

Yes. You can deposit cash at a lottery. But be careful. This service is available for Caixa Econômica Federal accounts (Savings, Checking, and Caixa Fácil).

Therefore, if you need to deposit cash into one of Caixa's accounts, you can use the service through lottery outlets located throughout the country.

What is the deposit limit at the lottery?

Before making your deposit, you should be aware that there is a deposit limit for Caixa accounts at the Lottery. See the table below for details on how this limit works.

Therefore, if you need to exceed this amount when making the deposit, you will need to go to one of the Caixa Econômica Federal branches.

If you exceed the deposit limit at the lottery outlet and try to make the transaction, you will receive a message saying that the limit has been exceeded, regardless of whether it is at the same lottery outlet or another one.

How long does it take for money deposited at a lottery store to arrive?

Similar to most banking services, deposits made at lottery outlets are usually credited to your account on the same day, as long as you make the transaction within the stipulated time: from the time the lottery outlet opens (which can be between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. depending on the location) until 4 p.m.

In general, when the deposit is made within this time, the money will be in the account within 30 minutes.

However, there are some exceptions to consider. If you make your deposit after 4 PM, on a weekend, or on a holiday, the amount will only be processed the next business day, delaying the availability of funds in your account.

Therefore, it is important to pay attention to this time so that you can have the money credited to your account.

How to deposit money at the lottery?

The process for depositing money into the lottery is very simple. As long as you respect the lottery's deposit limit, here's what you need to do:
