Spain – El Gordo Information
El Gordo de La Primitiva is one of Spain’s favourite lotteries, known for its impressive jackpots and its “reintegro” prize feature.
El Gordo History
Spain’s first national lottery took place in 1812, and the addition of a special Christmas drawing which evolved into today’s well-known Loteria de Navidad raffle was added soon after in 1818.
El Gordo de la Primitiva is supervised by Loterías y Apuestas del Estado, the Spanish regulatory agency for national lotteries. The Loterías y Apuestas del Estado was established in 1985, assuming responsibility for the administration and promotion of national lotteries throughout Spain.
El Gordo was a later addition to Spain’s lottery offerings, joining the La Primitiva lottery as a monthly draw in 1993, and evolving into a weekly draw by 1997. El Gordo offers impressive jackpots which frequently roll over into double-digit millions such as these top prizes: €33,024,545 (2011) , €27,152,932 (2008), and €26,214,521 (2007).
