The shift in the progress of the Timemania Provisional Measure, which was approved by Congress in two months (even amidst the crisis with Senate President Renan Calheiros), has made forecasts for the launch of the lottery, previously estimated for 2008, optimistic. The regulations are expected to be published by July 31st. After that, the clubs will be summoned by Caixa Econômica Federal to consolidate their debts with creditors and obtain a Clearance Certificate. Once the contracts are formalized, Caixa will have 90 days to make adjustments to the game's mechanism.

"Timemania should be in the lotteries in October, says Gilmar Machado".
