About La Primitiva
La Primitiva began in 1763 as a match 5/90 lottery created by royal initiative to raise funds for the Spanish treasury. The lottery flourished for 100 years and returned in modern times when the Organismo Nacional de Loterías y Apuestas del Estado (ONLAE) reinstated La Primitiva in August, 1985 with the 6/49 lottery format that is still in use today. La Primitiva’s biggest jackpots include €24.92 million in 2005 and €26 million in 2007.
La Primitiva Rules
The modern La Primitiva lottery format employs a single drum with a guess range of 1-49. To participate, players select 6 numbers which are randomly selected from the drum. Lottery officials will draw a seventh number, called a bonus ball, from the same lottery drum as the regular guess set. The bonus number cannot count towards the jackpot prize but creates a second place 5+1 prize.
To win the jackpot of the La Primitiva lottery, you must match 6 numbers from 1 to 49. Draws are held every Thursday and Saturday. Six of these numbers for a winning combination and the seventh number (additional number) is used to determine the second division prize. In addition, La Primitiva lottery has a special prize or "Refund": in each drawing an eighth ball is drawn with a number between 0 and 9. All players who match this number are awarded with the Refund.
Multiple Bet: You can play 44, 7, 28, 84, 210 or 462 bets in the same ticket. For this you must select in the first column 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 or 11 numbers.

Special category: This new category is to match all six numbers in the combination of La Primitiva, plus "reimbursement" (6 + R).
