The El Gordo de la Primitiva lottery – a bit of history

El Gordo de la Primitiva is a Spanish national lottery organized by Loterias y Apuestas del Estado. It is the greatest lottery created by this company – our website also allows you to play the La Primitiva lottery or the Bonoloto lottery online, which also belong to the LAE family.

The first El Gordo de La Primitiva drawing took place on 31st October 1993. Initially, drawings only took place once a month, on the last Sunday of the month. The price for a single ticket was 500 Spanish pesetas (an equivalent of 3 EUR today). The player could choose whether they wanted to use their ticket with a ready-made set of numbers (the tickets were printed beforehand) or if they’d rather buy a ticket with their own set of lucky numbers.

In October 1997, changes were made to the El Gordo de la Primitiva lottery. From that moment forward, the drawings have been taking place once a week, on every Sunday. There are also rollover jackpots available, which is in case none of the players in a particular drawing wins the main prize – the lottery’s jackpot gets bigger and keeps growing until one of the players is lucky.

Since 2005, the basic jackpot in El Gordo de la Primitiva has been 5,000,000 EUR.

Warning! Huge interest in Spain is enjoyed by the El Gordo de Navidad lottery, which is a Christmas lottery. El Gordo de la Primitiva and El Gordo de Navidad tend to get mixed together by players from outside of Spain. So remember that El Gordo de la Primitiva drawings take place every week, whereas the Christmas lottery only has its drawing once a year.
