From Barcelona to Madrid to Seville and beyond, Spanish lotteries are definitely en vogue. With exceptional lottery games and raffles, we expect Spanish lottery to be in fashion for a long time!
Let the journey begin!
There are five exciting options for Spanish lottery enthusiasts. Whether you prefer daily lotteries, huge jackpots, great odds or exhilarating raffles, Spanish lottery has something for you!
BonoLoto: Want a chance to win millions of euros nearly every day of the week? If you dislike waiting for lottery draws to take place and want to get results quickly, BonoLoto is the right choice for you. With draws happening six times a week — every Monday through Saturday — you only have mere hours to wait after purchasing your tickets to found out whether you’re that day’s winner. To play BonoLoto, pick six numbers from 1 to 49; match all six and you’ve won the jackpot. A bonus number is picked automatically which only determines the second prize. BonoLoto jackpots start at €400,000 with a record of €7 million set all the way back in 1990.
El Gordo: El Gordo means the big one, and it’s a great choice for people who like steady, decent-sized jackpots. El Gordo jackpots start at €5 million and have gone as high as €33 million. Pick five numbers ranging from 1 to 54 and an additional number ranging from 0 to 9. Another reason to play is the marvelous El Gordo secondary prizes: nine prize divisions in total. To win the jackpot, all five main numbers and the additional number must match, but there are many different combinations that will make you a secondary winner. You could even be a winner without matching any main number! El Gordo draws happen every Sunday.
La Primitiva: If you’re a history buff and a fan of huge jackpots, La Primitiva will be your go-to game. La Primitiva has its roots in the royal courts of 18th century Spain, where it began as an initiative to raise money for the treasury in 1763. It was popular for around a hundred years and then took a hiatus, returning in 1985. It not only has an impressive history, but impressive jackpots as well! On 17 October 2015, a new La Primitiva record jackpot was born. After an epic streak of 56 rollovers in a row, the historic €101.7 million prize was finally won. To participate in this fascinating lotto game, choose six numbers ranging from 1 to 49 with a bonus number — a reintegro number — automatically picked for you. The reintegro is only used for the second prize division; to win the jackpot just match all six main numbers. Draws take place every Thursday and Saturday.
