Winning Numbers
La Primitiva
La Primitiva is Spain’s main national lottery game.
Draws are held three times a week on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 21:40 local time, with tickets costing €1.00.
To play, choose six numbers between 1 and 49, or go for a Quick Pick for randomly generated numbers.
Each La Primitiva ticket is printed with a Reintegro number that substantially increases the prize for jackpot winners when matched, in addition to giving a ticket refund when matching the Reintegro number alone.
Players who enter La Primitiva via Lottery Agent websites can also take advantage of System Entry features to increase their chances of winning.
La Primitiva has no secondary games or opportunities to win cash prizes beyond the main draw.
Jackpot
La Primitiva has a minimum guaranteed jackpot of €3 million.
Due to La Primitiva being a rollover lottery that is not capped, jackpot prizes can often grow significantly larger than the minimum guaranteed amount.
The biggest ever La Primitive jackpots are:
- €101.7 million in October 2015.
- €78.6 million in January 2019.
- €73 million in February 2014.
