THE SPANISH LA PRIMITIVA LOTTO
History of La Primitiva
La Primitiva dates back to the late 1700’s making it the oldest running lottery game in the world. The name ‘La Primitiva’ actually translates into English as ‘The Primitive One’, a reference to the historic roots of this lottery. The updated form of the game was introduced in 1985.
How to Play La Primitiva
La Primitiva follows the standard 6/49 lottery format but includes a unique feature in its prize structure, known as the ‘Reintegro’ number. To play La Primitiva lottery players select 6 numbers from a possible 49. During the lottery drawing the organizers draw 7 numbers – 6 numbers plus a “complimentary” (bonus ball). And in addition to this standard 6/49 format, the 7th number between 0 and 9 called the ‘Reintegro’ (‘refund’) number is also drawn.
If a player matches all 6 of the winning numbers drawn plus the Reintegro number they win the top prize which includes the 1st prize value plus an additional sum. Please see the La Primitiva prize structure at the bottom of the page for more information on how the bonus ball and Reintegro number determine the prize tiers.
