About Lotto in Spain
Most major lotteries in Spain are administered by a company called Loterías y Apuestas del Estado (LAE). The company is owned by the government of Spain under the Ministry of the Treasury. Its current iteration was founded last December 2010, replacing the previous lottery operator of a similar name.
Some Spanish lotteries go back all the way to 1763, most notably La Primitiva. The game has seen many changes since its inception. It was even abolished sometime in the 1800's, only to make a comeback more than a century later. Today, lotteries in Spain are very much alive and kicking – having awarded billions of Euros in prizes.
List of Spanish Lotteries
EuroMillions
Being the biggest transnational lottery in Europe, EuroMillions makes an unsurprising appearance in LAE's lineup of games.
To play, just pick 5 numbers from 1 to 50, and 2 Lucky Star numbers from 1 to 12. If you match all numbers drawn, you take home the jackpot! It's not unusual to see grand prizes in the hundreds of millions range, and with relatively favorable overall odds of winning, EuroMillions should be one game on your radar.
EuroMillions has draws every Tuesday and Friday evening at 9:00 PM CET.
La Primitiva
As one of the oldest lotteries in the world, La Primitiva, which started in 1763, is one of Spain's biggest lotteries. It features a minimum jackpot of €3 million which rolls over each draw until it's won.
To play, you have to pick 6 numbers from 1 to 49. One of those numbers is called the Complementario. It can be any of your 6 picks and is used solely to determine second prize winners. A separate number between 0 and 9, called the Reintegro, is randomly assigned to you and printed on your ticket. If you match all 6 numbers plus the Reintegro, you take home the grand prize.
La Primitiva has draws every Thursday and Saturday evening, at 9:30 PM CET.
BonoLoto
Spain's BonoLoto can be best described as a miniature version of La Primitiva. It has pretty much the same set of rules: You pick 6 main numbers from 1 to 49, one of which is used as the Complementario. A seventh number called the Reintegro is also randomly assigned to your ticket.
The biggest differences between the two games are the prizes up for grabs, the drawing schedule, and the ticket price. BonoLoto's biggest prize starts at €400,000 and rolls over every draw until won.
BonoLoto has draws everyday from Monday to Saturday at 9:30 PM CET.
El Gordo
El Gordo de La Primitiva, or simply El Gordo, is a once-a-week lottery game that features a minimum jackpot of €5 million. Like all other lotteries on this list, the grand prize rolls over every week until someone wins it.
To play, just choose 6 numbers from 1 to 54, plus an additional number from 0 to 9. If you match all, you win the grand prize. Interestingly, El Gordo is also the term for grand prizes in most other Spanish lotteries.
El Gordo has draws every Sunday evening at 9:30 PM CET.
