A La Primitiva ticket validated at the lottery office at Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, 4, in Sestao, Bizkaia, has won its owner 573,615 euros. The Saturday draw also produced a winner of the same amount in Mataró, Barcelona.
The official results list the Sestao administration as the point of sale. Four secondary prizes of 46,500 euros each went to tickets sold in La Parra (Badajoz), Ponteareas (Pontevedra), and two towns in Valencia province. No ticket won in the Special Category, Antena 3 reported, citing official data, so the jackpot rolled over to 12.1 million euros for the next draw.
The winning numbers for the 5 September 2026 draw were 3, 12, 19, 31, 45, and 47. The complementary number was 01, the reintegro was 3, and the El Joker number was 6 414 438. La Primitiva players choose six numbers from 1 to 49, and each bet costs one euro.
Prizes fall into different categories. The Special Category requires matching all six basic numbers plus the reintegro; the first category requires all six basic numbers. Lower categories reward partial matches, down to three correct numbers or just the reintegro. Only the top prizes reach amounts that can change a winner's finances.
Prizes under 2,500 euros can be collected at any lottery office. Larger prizes, such as the one in Sestao, must be claimed at a bank with the winning ticket and ID. For group bets, everyone involved must be present. Since 2020, only winnings above 40,000 euros are taxed, with a 20% deduction applied automatically. If a prize is shared, the winners should split it at the bank to avoid extra gift tax later.
La Primitiva draws take place three times a week: Monday, Thursday, and Saturday. The green ticket covers a single draw, while the brown ticket allows entry in both Thursday and Saturday draws if validated before Thursday's game.
Lottery games are a regular part of life in Spain, and the Basque Country has a long tradition of participation. A recent report highlights the region's history with lotteries and community ties. The Sestao win adds to that history.
For the Sestao winner, the first step is to keep the ticket safe before going to the bank and preparing for a new financial reality.
