With Lottofy you can bet on the world's biggest lotteries based on their official results — pick your lucky numbers and enjoy the thrill of international draws in a simple, fast and convenient way, wherever you are.
La Primitiva is one of Spain's oldest and most beloved lottery games — a classic 6/49 format that has been running in its current form since 1985 and remains one of the most widely played lotteries on the Iberian peninsula. Its straightforward format, generous prize structure and three weekly draws make it a firm favourite for regular lottery players.
Each La Primitiva entry consists of selecting 6 numbers from 1 to 49. Every draw also produces a Reintegro — an additional number from 0 to 9 that gives players an extra prize, the Reintegro, or unlocks the top Special prize. With three draws every week and a prize structure that reaches across 7 tiers, La Primitiva offers frequent opportunities to win at every level.
At Lottofy you can buy your La Primitiva bet quickly, securely and entirely online. As well as the classic single bet, Lottofy offers exclusive play modes — including multiple bets with formulas and Share50 — that give you smarter, more flexible ways to play.
How to Bet on La Primitiva: Bet Types
Lottofy gives you two main ways to play La Primitiva: the single bet, the classic and most straightforward option, and the multiple bet, designed for players who want to cover more combinations and increase their chances with a single bet.
Single Bet
The single bet is the traditional way to play La Primitiva. In one bet you can include between 1 and 8 independent entries. For each entry you select 6 numbers from 1 to 49. Every panel is a separate bet on the official draw, with its own combination and its own chance of winning across all prize categories.
It is the most direct way to play La Primitiva and the natural starting point for first-time players.
Multiple Bet: More Combinations, More Chances
The multiple bet takes your play further. Rather than being limited to 6 numbers per panel, you can select 7, 8, 9, 10 or 11 main numbers (and even more when using formula play) in a single entry. The system automatically generates every possible 6-number combination from your selection, covering a far wider spread of the draw in one go.
The more numbers you choose, the more combinations are generated — and the greater your overall chance of matching enough numbers to win a prize.
Two Ways to Place a Multiple Bet
Once you have chosen your multiple combination, you have two options:
Multiple bet — straight play Every combination generated by your number selection is a separate bet on the official draw. This is the maximum-coverage option: you're paid the prize of every winning combination.
Multiple bet — formula play (exclusive to Lottofy) Formula play is one of Lottofy's most powerful and distinctive features. Formulas are mathematical algorithms that intelligently select a subset of all possible combinations from your chosen numbers, reducing the total number of bets required — not at random, but whilst maintaining a coverage percentage that you define yourself.
The result: you play a multiple with significantly fewer bets than straight play, keep high prize odds, and lower the overall cost of your bet. It is the most cost-efficient way to play La Primitiva multiples — and it is available exclusively through Lottofy.
What Is the Reintegro?
La Primitiva includes a unique feature not found in most other major lotteries: the Reintegro. After the 6 main numbers have been drawn, an additional ball is extracted from a separate drum containing numbers from 0 to 9. This is the Reintegro.
The Reintegro works in two distinct ways:
As a standalone prize: if your Reintegro number matches the one drawn — regardless of how many main numbers you matched — you win the Reintegro, a prize equal to the official price of one entry, which may differ from what you paid on Lottofy. Every bet has a 1 in 10 chance of matching it in any given draw.
As a route to the Special prize: if you match all 6 main numbers and the Reintegro, you win the Special category — the highest possible prize in La Primitiva, carrying a 20% share of the prize fund. This is the top tier of the game, above the standard Category 1 jackpot.
You do not need to select a Reintegro number when placing your bet — it is automatically assigned to your bet and drawn as part of the official draw process.
Monday, Thursday and Saturday Draws
La Primitiva holds three draws every week: on Monday, Thursday and Saturday. All three draws are identical in rules, prize structure and gameplay. You can choose to enter one, two or all three draws per week, or select the weekly option to have your combinations active in every draw — tripling your chances of winning each week.
Choose How Many Weeks Your Bet Runs
At Lottofy you can schedule your La Primitiva entries for between 1 and 52 consecutive weeks with the same combinations. Playing multiple weeks at once brings clear advantages:
Your combinations are locked in without needing to revisit your purchase before each draw.
You avoid payment disruptions such as card expiry or other unexpected issues.
You can unlock discounts — the more weeks you choose in a single cycle, the greater the saving.
Auto-Renewal: Never Miss a Draw
If you prefer to play continuously without worrying about expiry dates, activate auto-renewal. When your chosen cycle ends, your combinations renew automatically for the next one. You stay active in every draw without interruption.
Share50: Win Beyond Your Own Combinations
Share50 is Lottofy's exclusive collective play feature, giving you the chance to benefit from other players' winnings as well as your own. The mechanics are completely transparent, and we take no commission on Share50 prizes:
You keep 50% of any prize generated by your own bets.
The remaining 50% goes into the shared fund and is distributed proportionally among all Share50 participants, based on the number of bets each player has contributed.
In return, you receive your proportional share of the 50% contributed by all other participants.
In practice: even if none of your own combinations wins in a particular draw, you can still receive a payout when other Share50 players have winning entries. And if your own combinations do win, you keep 50% of your own prize, after any reduction set out in our Terms.
We take no commission on Share50 prizes. All the prizes generated within Share50 are distributed among the participating players.
La Primitiva has 7 prize tiers, including the Reintegro as a standalone category. Every bet has a 1 in 10 chance of matching the Reintegro, the lowest prize category, in every draw, making La Primitiva one of the most accessible lotteries in terms of overall winning frequency.
Category | Numbers matched | Reintegro matched | Odds | Prize |
Special | 6 | Yes | 1 : 139,838,160 | 20% of prize fund |
1 | 6 | No | 1 : 13,983,816 | 40% of prize fund |
2 | 6 | No* | 1 : 2,330,636 | 6% of prize fund |
3 | 5 + Complementary | No | 1 : 55,491 | 13% of prize fund |

Prizes shown are the official prize per entry. Much like the tax Spain withholds from lottery prizes, the payout on large prizes is reduced; the exact reductions are set out in our Terms.
*Category 2 refers to matching 6 main numbers without the Reintegro. The Special category is the top prize and requires matching all 6 numbers plus the Reintegro. The Complementary number in Category 3 is an additional ball drawn after the 6 main numbers that creates this intermediate prize tier. Prize fund percentages are divided proportionally among all winners in that category for each draw.
