La Primitiva
6 from 1–49




Uses your browser’s cryptographic random generator. Every combination has the same chance.

What is La Primitiva?

La Primitiva is Spain’s oldest lottery: its origins go back to a royal decree of King Charles III in 1763, and the modern 6/49 version was relaunched in 1985. It is run by Loterías y Apuestas del Estado and drawn every Monday, Thursday and Saturday. Besides the six main numbers, each draw produces a complementario, used for the 5 + C prize, and a reintegro from 0 to 9 that refunds your stake. The optional Joker game can be added to the same ticket for a separate prize with its own odds.

How La Primitiva works

  1. Pick six different numbers from 1–49 – your own favourites or a random Quick Pick.
  2. Check your line once the numbers are drawn – only which numbers match counts, not their order.
  3. The top prize needs all six main numbers; smaller combinations win lower prizes set by the operator.

Your chances in La Primitiva

The draw can produce 13,983,816 different results, which means the jackpot odds for one line are 1 in 13,983,816. Lower down the table the picture changes quickly: a result of five main numbers turns up about once in 54,201 lines, and at least three correct main numbers about once in 54 lines.

In Europe, Lotto (Denmark) (1 in 8.3 million) has better odds and Bonoloto (1 in 14.0 million) has exactly the same odds. Compared with US Powerball, the jackpot is about 21 times easier to hit. Among the 88 lotteries on this site, La Primitiva ranks number 30 for jackpot odds, where number 1 is the easiest.

Playing two lines in two draws every week – 208 lines a year – you would wait on average around 67,230 years for one jackpot, so the jackpot is something to dream about rather than plan for.

La Primitiva generator, odds table and demo

For a quick pick, the generator above builds random La Primitiva lines – as many as ten at once – and checks that every number fits the 1–49 range. The odds tab breaks down every possible result, while the demo draw runs a realistic draw with your own numbers. In the demo you tap six numbers on a 49-ball board, or let Quick Pick do it.

The simulator goes further: ten years of two lines twice a week means 2,080 lines, and on average about 37 of them would match exactly three main numbers while the chance of a top prize in that time is only about 1 in 6,723. Random numbers do not change your chances, but they do avoid the dates and patterns thousands of other players choose, which matters when a jackpot is shared.
