We want to answer a question that surely has ever come up to your mind, where was the Spanish National Lottery and La Primitiva Lottery or any other type of gambling born and why?

Well, its origin dates from the years in which Carlos III ruled as Mayor of Madrid, when the Minister of Finance, Don Leopoldo de Gregorio, proposed the realization of a national draw in order to gather money for the State coffers without having to ask the people for money directly through tax increases or even the creation of new ones.

In this way the so-called Lottery by Numbers was born, carrying out the first draw on December 10, 1763, at which time a total of 187,500 reales was raised, not bad for being the beginning of a historical and very popular lottery game in the present time. Years later it would change its name from Lottery by Numbers to Lotería Primitiva.

It was in 1812 when the so-called Modern Lottery was born, years later it would become the current National Lottery.

But in 1862, about to celebrate a centenary of the appearance of La Primitiva betting lottery, the government abolished this draw, which was not resumed until 1985, when it was held again by government order according to a Royal Decree.

The first draw for this second batch of La Primitiva was held on October 17, 1985, in which the sum of 473,213,425 pesetas was collected, thanks to the cost per Primitiva ticket of 25 pesetas.

A few months later, thanks to the increase in popularity and in order to increase the amount of the prizes, the price of the lottery tickets was raised to 50 pesetas; to continue raising them in 1988 to 100 pesetas ending up costing 150 pesetas in the year 2000.

In addition to the usual Lottery raffle, in 1989 another day was incorporated, with the weekly draws of La Primitiva becoming two, and with this, the so-called brown Primitiva ticket appeared, which made it possible to participate in the two raffles on the same piece of paper.

With the arrival of the European currency to our country, at the beginning of the XXI century, the simple ticket of La Primitiva Lottery started to cost €1, and from then on it is when the largest prizes in the history of the draw have been registered, reaching the record in 2015, with an individual prize valued at a whopping €101 million.

The latest innovations in the draw appeared last decade: first, in 2010, the decision was made to maintain a Jackpot accumulated with such La Primitiva Lottery prizes of the first category in which there were no winners, which would be added to the next Lottery prize in the same category. in which one or more winners appear. In addition, in 2012, the special category, discussed above, was then added.
