How do you play the Gordo de la Primitiva?
The primitive is one of the most popular games in Spain, along with the National Lottery and La Bonoloto, thanks to its highly attractive awards and its long tradition in the country. Its origin dates back to the 18th century, which makes it one of the oldest lottery games in the world.
The first raffle of the primitive was held in 1763 under the reign of Carlos III, with the purpose of raising funds for the State without imposing new taxes on citizens. This initial raffle was officially called lottery by numbers and was designed as a fairer alternative to other collection systems. After an interruption period, the primitive was reinstated in 1985 in its modern form.
Currently, the game consists in choosing six numbers from 1 to 49, plus a complementary number and a reimbursement. The awards are divided into various 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. If there are no winners in the “full to 6” category, the boat accumulates, which can generate billionaire awards. In fact, the biggest prize in the history of the primitive was distributed on October 15, 2015, when a single winning ticket obtained more than 101 million euros, a record that marked a milestone in the history of this game.
In addition to being an accessible entertainment (a basic bet has a reduced price), the social impact of primitive is significant, since part of the income obtained is destined for social, cultural and sports purposes through public bodies.
The popularity of the primitive not only lies in its awards, but also in its ability to unite tradition and modernity. Currently, it is possible to participate in the draws both in physical points of sale and through digital platforms, expanding its reach to new audiences.
In summary, the primitive is not only a game of chance, but also part of the history and culture of Spain, with an evolution that reflects the social and technological changes of the country.
