Posted by Roopa Kashyap on February 20th, 2019

Many countries run their own national lotteries as a means of generating revenues and at the same time giving the players a chance to win the jackpot and many other prizes. Spain also has its own lottery called ‘La Primitiva’. The details about the Spanish lottery are listed below:

History:

LA Primitiva is one of the oldest lotteries in the world. It was started by the Marquis of Esquilache in the year 1763.

Frequency:

La Primitiva is played twice a week.

Game Play

You are required to choose any 6 numbers in the range of 1-49. You can also play additional lines and play up to 30 lines per ticket. For more than 30 lines, you will need to buy another ticket. As the next step, you need to choose the days on which you would like to be a part of the draw. You can choose Thursday, Saturday or both. You can also choose to play in the upcoming week or choose multiple futures draws at the time of purchase.

The ‘Reintegro’ feature is specific to this lottery. A ‘Reintegro’ is a number that is assigned randomly to the ticket at the time of purchase. Tickets, which have a matching ‘Reintegro’ number, receive €1.00 (INR 80) for every line played. Therefore, if 5 lines are played on the ticket, they will receive €5.00 (INR 400). A complementary number is also drawn in the process. This number is relevant only for the third prize category and is of no significance where other prizes are concerned.

The Draw

The draw for the lottery happens every Thursday and Saturday at 9:30 local time in Spain.
Prize Amounts

The biggest prize for this lottery starts at €3 million and the biggest win by any player stands at €66.6 million (INR5,35,78,19,225.59). For this, the player must match all 6 numbers plus the ‘Reintegro’. The next prize is for matching the 6 numbers. These are followed by match 5+1, match 5, match 4 and finally the match 3 number combinations. Then, there are consolation prizes given for the Reintegro as mentioned earlier. If none of the players comes forward to claim the jackpot, the prize amount gets rolled over and added to the next draw.
