Spain's La Primitiva lottery has published the results of its July 9 draw, including the winning combination and Joker number. The draw is among the country's most closely followed, with past prizes reaching €101 million for a single winner in Barcelona. Other impressive payouts in recent years included €79.4 million in Tabernes (Valencia) and more than €70 million split between two winners in Seville.
The winning numbers for July 9 are 35, 38, 30, 43, 22 and 28. The complementary number is 3, and the reintegro is 8. The Joker number is 1482783. For EuroDreams, the numbers are 5, 14, 18, 22, 33 and 35, with 4 as the 'Sueño' number. Loterías y Apuestas del Estado (SELAE) publishes each draw’s combination alongside the complementary number and reintegro, as well as the seven-digit Joker code where applicable.
La Primitiva's next draw is scheduled for Monday, July 13, at 21:40. Results will be available on the official Loterías y Apuestas del Estado website, while El Confidencial will provide live updates. The game has seven prize categories, from matching three numbers to the special category, which requires all six basic numbers plus the reintegro. The first category requires six correct numbers; the special category adds the reintegro. SELAE’s results tables list the number of winning tickets and the prize per ticket for each category, so payouts can vary with the draw and the number of winners.
Spanish tax authorities automatically withhold 20% of any prize exceeding €40,000. Smaller prizes can be collected at official lottery retailers, while amounts above €2,000 must be processed through partner banks such as BBVA or CaixaBank. A standard bet costs €1 and requires selecting six numbers between 1 and 49, plus a reintegro digit from 0 to 9.
The Joker is an optional La Primitiva add-on that assigns each ticket a unique seven-digit code. Matching all the digits in the correct order wins €1 million. The separate Joker prize schedule also awards €10,000 for six matching digits, €1,000 for five, €300 for four, €50 for three, €5 for two and €1 for one, information from the specified positional rules. The feature gives players an additional chance at a large payout.
La Primitiva's simple format and potential for life-changing winnings have helped sustain its popularity. The lottery is a fixture in Spanish culture, with draws broadcast nationwide and results followed by millions. Recent adjustments to the format of 'Pasapalabra' during the World Cup period, discussed in this report on TV show strategies, highlight changes across Spain's entertainment and gaming field.
La Primitiva's tax rules and payout procedures reflect broader trends in Spanish gaming regulation. The 20% withholding on large prizes was introduced to align with fiscal policy and ensure transparency. Lottery winnings are considered capital gains, and the tax threshold applies per winning ticket. Players should keep their tickets safe and check results promptly: claims must be made within three months of the draw date.
