A ticket holder in Andújar, Jaén, won €1,221,858.64 after matching all six basic numbers in the Thursday, July 16 La Primitiva draw. The winning combination was 38, 11, 31, 27, 6 and 1, with 41 as the complementary number, 0 as the reintegro and 6168299 as the Joker number. The winning ticket was validated at Lottery Administration No. 5 at C.C. Carrefour, Avda. Blas Infante, 14, Loc. 122, in Andújar.
No ticket matched the special category of six numbers plus the reintegro, leaving a potential jackpot of €38 million for the next draw. The draw’s total receipts were €11,340,602. La Primitiva results list the six basic numbers alongside the complementary number and reintegro; the Joker is also reported, while prize categories are calculated separately.
Four tickets won second-category prizes by matching five numbers plus the complementary number. Two were validated in Jaca (Huesca) and Fuengirola (Málaga), with the other two in Segovia and Navelgas (Asturias). The official results service of Loterías y Apuestas del Estado (SELAE) lists winner counts and prizes by category. The first category requires six correct numbers, while the second requires five numbers plus the complementary number.
La Primitiva is one of Spain’s longest-running lottery games, with roots in the 18th century. Its results combine the six-number draw with additional fields that determine other prize categories. Large jackpots can attract more interest when they roll over, and the €38 million top prize could draw more players to the next draw.
This week’s result followed other high-profile events in Spain, including the San Fermín festival in Pamplona, where reports of a record-breaking bull run also drew national attention. La Primitiva draws take place twice weekly, and the jackpot carries forward when no ticket wins the special category.
