Spain – La Primitiva Information

Spanish lottery La Primitiva has handed out billions of dollars in prizes in its modern format. The Spanish lottery offers attractive winning odds and exciting jackpots that are characteristic of Spain’s games of chance. La Primitiva proudly traces its roots as far back as 1763, making it one of the oldest lotteries still operating in the modern world.

La Primitiva History

La Primitiva began in the 18th century as a match 5/90 lottery, created by royal initiative to raise funds for the Spanish treasury. The lottery flourished for 100 years and returned in modern times when the Organismo Nacional de Loterías y Apuestas del Estado (ONLAE) reinstated La Primitiva in August 1985. The 6/49 lottery format introduced by ONLAE is still in use today.

Some of La Primitiva’s biggest jackpots include €24.92 million in 2005, €26 million in 2007, €32 million in 2013, €73 million won in February 2014, and its record jackpot of €101.7 million won on 17 October 2015.

La Primitiva Rules

In November 2012, the La Primitiva lottery added a new prize category for the 6+R (Reintegro) prize. Jackpot winners who correctly match six numbers, as well as the Reintegro number automatically assigned to players’ ticket, collect an additional sum on top of the jackpot prize. A portion of the prize fund in each draw is allocated to this special prize category so that 6+R winners enjoy a larger lottery jackpot win!

To play La Primitiva, players choose six numbers from a guess range of 1-49 and are automatically assigned their Reintegro number. As well as being used to determine the 6+R jackpot prize, matching the Reintegro alone entitles you to a refund on the official lottery ticket price!

In the draw, a seventh ball, called a bonus ball, is drawn from the same drum as the regular guess set. While this bonus number cannot help make a jackpot winning combination, matching five numbers + one bonus ball (5+1) entitles players to the second prize.

As of 1st January 2013, Spanish lottery prizes that exceed €2,500 will be subject to a government legislated tax at a rate of 20%.
