    lotería primitiva — weekly state-run lottery

    LOTERÍA There are two state-run lotteries in Spain: the Lotería Primitiva and the Lotería Nacional, with money raised going directly to the government. The Primitiva, which is weekly, is similar to the British National Lottery in that players choose six numbers, including a bonus number (complementario), out of a total of 49. There are also several other similar draws each week, for which players can buy a multiple-draw ticket called a bono-loto. The Lotería Nacional works differently: people buy numbered tickets, which, if their number comes up, will entitle them to a share in the prize money with others who have the same numbered ticket. Whole numbers are quite costly, so people tend to buy either décimos or smaller participaciones. Several dozen prizes are won in each of the ordinary weekly draws, sorteos ordinarios. Every year there are also a number of sorteos extraordinarios, the most famous being the Christmas draw, or sorteo de Navidad, and the sorteo del Niño at the Epiphany.

    •• Cultural note:
    A Spanish state-run lottery founded in 1812. There is an "ordinary" draw on Thursdays and "special" and "extraordinary" draws, offering bigger prizes. The biggest are El Gordo, drawn before Christmas, and El Niño, drawn at Epiphany. You can buy a complete ticket or a participación de lotería, worth one tenth of a ticket. It is common to buy participaciones collectively. Prize money is shared among the co-owners of the ticket. Other lotteries are the bonoloto, Lotería Primitiva, and the ONCE
    A Spanish state lottery founded in 1985. It works like the bonoloto: players mark six numbers on a ticket containing 49 numbers and win the main prize if all their numbers come up in the draw. There are "ordinary" draws on Thursdays and Saturdays, and a draw for a larger prize on the last Sunday of each month, known as El Gordo, or El Gordo de la Primitiva
