How do you play the fat of the primitive?
The primitive is one of the most popular games in Spain, along with the National Lottery and La Bonoloto, thanks to its attractive awards and its extensive tradition in the country. Its origin dates back to the 18th century, which makes it one of the oldest lotteries in the world.
The first raffle of the primitive took place in 1763, during the reign of Carlos III, with the aim of raising funds for the State without imposing new taxes on citizens. In the beginning, it was officially called “lottery by numbers” and was presented as a more equitable alternative to other public financing methods. After a period of interruption, the raffle was restored in 1985 in its modern version.
At present, the game consists of selecting six numbers between 1 and 49, in addition to a complementary number and a reimbursement. The awards are distributed in different categories, from the “Plenary to 6” (hit the six main numbers) to the reimbursement, which allows to recover the amount of the bet.
One of the most attractive aspects of primitive is its cumulative boat. In case of not being hitting in the category of “full to 6”, the boat accumulates, which can lead to millionaire prizes. In fact, the highest prize in the history of the primitive was delivered on October 15, 2015, when a single winning ticket won more than 101 million euros, a record that marked a milestone in this raffle.
In addition to its accessibility (a basic bet has a reduced cost), the primitive has a relevant social impact, since part of its income is destined for social, cultural and sports projects through public bodies.
Its popularity is not only due to the awards it offers, but also to its ability to combine tradition and modernity. Currently, it is possible to participate in the raffles both in physical points of sale and through digital platforms, which expands its scope and facilitates the participation of new players.
