A single ticket validated in Salamanca has secured a prize of over €1.1 million in the latest La Primitiva draw. Loterías y Apuesta del Estado announced the winning combination. The prize reflects the continued popularity of Spain’s national lotteries.

A ticket holder in Salamanca won a reported €1,151,151.39 after matching all six numbers and the reintegro in the La Primitiva draw held on Monday, August 17, 2026. The ticket was validated at lottery outlet 64.865 on Avenida de los Comuneros, 39-45, and was reported as the sole entry to win the special-category prize in that draw. This is the stated gross prize; the amount ultimately received may differ after any applicable withholding.

The reported winning combination was 4, 46, 2, 28, 48 and 19. The complementary number was 18, reintegro 0 and Joker number 7076326. The total amount collected for the draw was reported as €5,449,192. These figures describe the draw’s results and pool. The prize amount should be distinguished from any net payment after tax treatment at the time of collection.

Two tickets also matched five numbers plus the complementary number, qualifying for second-category prizes. They were validated at Administration 36 in Badalona, Barcelona, on Calle del Mar, 124, and at outlet 29.130 in Melide, A Coruña, on Calle Arzúa, 5. Alongside Salamanca’s special-category win, those tickets account for the other reported top-tier outcomes in the draw.

La Primitiva is one of Spain’s established national lottery games, with prize categories distributing winnings across different levels of matching numbers. Spanish lottery prizes are subject to tax rules, so the advertised gross amount is not necessarily what a winner receives after applicable withholding. Separately, authorities recently cleared Gurugú Mountain of migrant camps amid heightened security measures in Melilla. That development is unrelated to the lottery draw and its prize allocation.

The Salamanca ticket brings its holder a large reported prize, while the Badalona and Melide tickets also secured second-category awards. The three reported winning locations span Castile and León, Catalonia and Galicia.
