Gambling fever has reignited in Spain as the latest La Primitiva national lottery drawing brought significant wins to three players at once. This time, luck favored residents from different corners of the country who managed to guess five main numbers and the bonus number. Each of them is now richer by €42,145.61. For many, this is not just a pleasant bonus but a real chance to change their lives or fulfill long-held dreams.
On Monday, December 15, thousands of Spaniards anxiously awaited the results of the draw. The top prize once again went unclaimed, as no ticket matched all six main numbers and the ‘reintegro’ number. This means the jackpot continues to grow and has now reached an impressive €61.5 million. The next drawing promises to be especially intense, with a record-breaking amount at stake.
The Geography of Luck
This time, the three lucky tickets were bought in completely different regions of the country. One was purchased at lottery administration No. 6 in Coslada (Madrid), at Avenida de Berlín, 8. The second was sold at betting point No. 39.030 in Palos de la Frontera (Huelva), at Cristóbal Colón Street, 22. The third was issued at office No. 67.400 in Icod de los Vinos (Santa Cruz de Tenerife), at Príncipes de España, 77. These locations have now become destinations for those who believe in the magic of luck and hope to repeat the winners’ success.
The second-tier winners, who matched five numbers and the bonus number, each received €42,145.61. By comparison, this time there were no jackpot winners, which means the prize could go to a single lucky person in the next draw and change their life forever.
Draw results
On Monday, the following winning numbers were announced: 14, 27, 25, 08, 31, and 36. The bonus number was 39, and the ‘Reintegro’ was 01. The Joker number was also drawn: 3848537. Everyone who took part in the draw could check their ticket to see if they had won a major prize or at least recouped the cost of their bet.
La Primitiva remains one of Spain’s most popular lotteries. Every week, millions take part, hoping luck will be on their side. For many, it’s not only a chance to become wealthy but also part of a national tradition that brings generations together.
History and rules
La Primitiva is one of the oldest lotteries in the world, with roots dating back to the 18th century. The first draw took place on December 10, 1763, launched by the finance minister under King Carlos III. Since then, the format has changed several times, and the current version of the lottery was established in 1985. Today, it takes place three times a week—on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
To take part, simply choose six numbers from 1 to 49. A bonus number and a “reintegro”—a random digit from 0 to 9—are automatically added. To win the jackpot, you need to match all six numbers plus the reintegro. But even if not all numbers match, there’s still a chance to win in one of six prize categories.
Additional options
Players can boost their chances by activating the Joker option for an extra fee. Their ticket receives a unique seven-digit number. If it matches the winning Joker combination, the player receives one million euros. This feature is popular among those who enjoy taking risks and dream of instant wealth.
La Primitiva attracts players not only with its large prizes, but also with its simple rules. Every draw is a chance to test your luck—and for some, a ticket to a new life. This time, three people in Spain have already tasted victory, while the rest continue to hope for their lucky break.
In case you didn’t know, La Primitiva is the national lottery operated by Loterías y Apuestas del Estado. The company dates back to the 18th century and is considered one of the oldest in the world. It oversees the largest draws and guarantees transparency in every game. Thanks to this lottery, millions of Spaniards get a chance at big winnings each year, while part of the proceeds goes to social projects and national development.
Earlier, two residents of Andalusia also won substantial prizes in La Primitiva. Each received nearly 700,000 euros, sharing an impressive sum between them. You can read more about this case in our report. “Two lucky winners from southern Spain share major La Primitiva prize”.
