THE LA PRIMITIVA JACKPOT – HOW MUCH CAN YOU WIN?
Spanish La Primitiva is a well-loved game, with the highest jackpot reaching AUD$160 million! With massive jackpots and the chance to win a prize by simply matching one number, La Primitiva is worth playing!
The standard La Primitiva jackpot is €2,000,000 which is approximately AUD$3 million. However, if no players pick all the winning numbers drawn during a drawing, the prize pool for the following draw increases. In this unique lottery, the jackpot has no upper limit, which means it can continue growing until one lucky player selects all the winning numbers.
In 2015, one lucky individual won a whopping AUD$160 million prize money in the Spanish La Primitiva; the largest sum handed out in the draw!
The biggest payout before that was AUD$107 million, which was awarded to one lucky person in Seville!
HOW TO PLAY – THE RULES OF LA PRIMITIVA
So now you know how much cash you can win from the draws of one of the oldest lotteries in the world, and you’re probably wondering how you can play to win!
Just like the matching Spanish La Primitiva lottery, our La Primitiva is unique in that it has two different bonus balls; the ‘Reintegro’ (which translates to ‘refund’ in English) and the ‘Complementario’ (which means ‘complementary’ in English).
When selecting your numbers to play, you must choose 6 main numbers from a pool of 1 to 49 and 1 Reintegro number from a separate pool of 0 to 9. For each ticket you play in the La Primitiva, you must select 1 Reintegro number. Each ticket has up to 8 games. This means, for example, that if you buy 10 games, you get 2 tickets, and must choose 2 Reintegro numbers.
The Complementario works like a traditional supplementary number commonly found in many other lotteries. It’s drawn from the main pool of numbers and is needed to win the third division prize, but it isn’t used anywhere else. You don’t need to choose a Complementario number; it’s simply selected as part of the draw process.
Simply matching the Reintegro number will be enough to get you a prize, and if you match it along with the 6 main numbers, you’ll take out the first division prize (or, as it’s called in Spain, the ‘categoría especial’). Starting at AUD$3 million, there’s no limit to how high the jackpot can go. When it’s not won, it rolls over to the next draw, growing larger each time it’s not claimed.
On top of this, playing our La Primitiva only costs AUD$3.70.
LA PRIMITIVA’S UNIQUE FEATURE
La Primitiva also has a unique feature called the ‘The Joker.’ This has 7 prize divisions that are separate from the main draw and allows participants to win additional prizes of anywhere from €1 (AUD$1.60) all the way up to €1 million (AUD$1.6 million)!
You are automatically assigned a 7-digit number when you play The Joker. A Joker number is assigned to each ticket you buy (remember, each ticket can have up to 8 games on it). This number is unique, so there can only be one first prize winner. The winner takes all for the main prize! There are also lots of other great prizes too, including AUD$16,000!
