Saturday’s La Primitiva draw left the top prize unclaimed, but two tickets in Segurilla and Carcaixent each secured over €100,000. The results highlight the ongoing appeal of Spain’s most popular lottery.
Two towns in Spain saw a surge of excitement this weekend as the La Primitiva lottery draw on Saturday, July 11, 2026, delivered significant prizes. While no participant managed to claim the special or first category jackpots, two tickets matched the second category, each earning €100,733.45. The winning tickets were validated in Segurilla (Toledo) and Carcaixent (Valencia), turning ordinary days into memorable ones for the lucky holders.
The winning combination for this draw consisted of the numbers 12, 17, 20, 24, 27, and 34. The complementary number was 41, and the reintegro was 0. Additionally, the El Joker number drawn was 1 933 915. These results once again underline the unpredictable nature of La Primitiva, which continues to attract millions of hopefuls across Spain every week.
La Primitiva, organized by Loterías y Apuestas del Estado, is one of the country’s most established and widely played lotteries. Draws are held every Monday, Thursday, and Saturday, with each ticket costing one euro. Players select six numbers from a pool of 1 to 49, either manually or randomly. The structure of the prizes is tiered: the special category requires matching all six numbers plus the reintegro, while the first category is for those who match all six main numbers. The second category, which brought fortune to Segurilla and Carcaixent, is awarded for five correct numbers plus the complementary number. Lower categories reward those who match five, four, or three numbers.
Claiming a prize from La Primitiva depends on the amount won. For prizes up to €2,500, winners can collect their money at any authorized lottery retailer. For larger sums, such as those awarded in this draw, winners must present their ticket and identification at a bank. If the prize is shared among several people, each must be present with their ID to receive their portion. Since January 2020, lottery winnings up to €40,000 are tax-free, but amounts above this threshold are subject to a 20% withholding by the tax authorities. It is important for winners to be aware of these rules, especially when sharing or gifting winnings, as different tax implications may apply.
La Primitiva’s enduring popularity is partly due to its straightforward rules and the possibility of life-changing prizes. The green ticket allows participation in a single draw, while the brown ticket covers both Thursday and Saturday draws if validated before Thursday’s draw begins. The excitement generated by these regular draws is a familiar part of Spanish life, much like the anticipation surrounding major sporting events. For example, the recent surge in national attention during Spain’s advance to the World Cup semifinals, as detailed in coverage of Spain’s upcoming match against France, mirrors the collective interest that La Primitiva continues to inspire.
For many, the lottery is more than just a game of chance; it is a tradition woven into the fabric of Spanish society. The latest draw’s outcome in Segurilla and Carcaixent serves as a reminder of the tangible impact these games can have on local communities. As the next draw approaches, anticipation remains high, with players across the country hoping to see their numbers come up.
