The game of La Primitiva

What is La Primitiva

Primitiva is a lottery game of chance. It consists of a ticket that is formed by 8 blocks, each one with numbers from 1 to 49. In each bet you have to select a combination of 6 numbers per block (single bet format) or another quantity of numbers (multiple bet format, a single block with 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 or 11 numbers marked).

Price

The price of each bet is 1 euro.

There are four game modes:

Drawing script

In the drawing drum, 49 balls (numbers from 1 to 49) are introduced. During the draw, 6 balls are drawn to form the winning combination of the corresponding day, and then a seventh ball is drawn, which corresponds to the complementary. The complementary number is used to form an additional prize category: second category, with 5 hits plus the complementary number

Finally, from another drum with numbers from 0 to 9, a ball is drawn, which will be the reintegro. All bets that have the same payoff as this drawn ball will be refunded the amount of the game (1 euro per bet).

Joker offers the possibility to participate in an associated draw, with prizes ranging from 10 Euros (last 2 numbers) to 1 Million Euros (all 7 numbers).
