La Primitiva odds & prize statistics
La Primitiva draws 6 numbers from 49. Below is every prize tier with its exact odds, the combinatorics behind the jackpot, and interactive tools to put those numbers in perspective.
La Primitiva in plain English
A La Primitiva line picks 6 numbers from 49. Match everything for the jackpot — there are several smaller tiers below it too.
La Primitiva adds two extras: a complementario (bonus ball from the remaining 43, used for the 5 + complementario tier) and a reintegro (a single 0–9 digit). Match the reintegro and your €1 stake is refunded; match everything plus the reintegro for the top “Especial” category. Main tiers are pari-mutuel. Draws are Thursday and Saturday.
That single number is where every odds figure on this page comes from: you choose 6 numbers from 49 (the bonus ball is then drawn from the remaining 43), giving 13,983,816 equally-likely outcomes. Exactly one of them is the jackpot line — which is why the jackpot odds are 1 in 13,983,816.

Why there's no fixed prize table
La Primitiva is pari-mutuel: each prize tier shares a slice of ticket sales, split between everyone who matched that tier in that draw. So the odds below are exact and fixed, but the amounts change every single draw and can't be listed as fixed figures — anyone quoting you a guaranteed payout for these tiers is guessing.

La Primitiva myths, busted
Every La Primitiva draw is independent. A number that hasn't appeared in months is exactly as likely as any other — the balls have no memory.
Random picks and hand-chosen lines have identical odds. Quick picks only win more in total because more people use them.
A line like 1-2-3-4-5 is exactly as likely as any other. The only reason to skip popular patterns is to avoid sharing a prize if they come up.
