On February 2, 2025, the draw for the famous El Gordo de la Primitiva lottery took place, offering players the chance to win big, but leaving many empty-handed after no first-category winners emerged. This lottery, organized by Loterías y Apuestas del Estado, consistently attracts attention with its substantial jackpots, and this week, the pool reached an impressive €11.5 million. Yet, the anticipation for the next roll-over is even higher, potentially reaching €12 million for the upcoming draw.
During this exciting Sunday night, which began at 21:40 hours (local time) from Madrid's Salón de Sorteos, the winning combination was revealed: 2, 15, 16, 18, and 53, with the key number, known as the reintegro, being 3. While players eagerly watched and hoped to see their chosen numbers, the lack of winners for the top prize meant the massive jackpot will continue to grow.
Usually, the lottery consists of selecting five numbers from 1 to 54, alongside one key number ranging from 0 to 9. Despite there being no first-category winners this week, three lucky players did secure the second category by matching all five main numbers, each taking home €55,227.61. These significant wins were recorded from tickets sold at various locations: one from Córdoba, another from León, and the last one from San Cristóbal de la Laguna, located on the beautiful island of Tenerife.
For players, the El Gordo de la Primitiva lottery features eight prize categories, which provides multiple chances to win with varying levels of rewards. Even if someone only matched the key number, there is still the possibility of receiving the reintegro amount—the return of the price of the ticket, which is €1.50.
The excitement doesn’t stop here. With every draw, players are reminded of the odds; for every chance of winning the massive first category (which requires matching the five main numbers plus the key number), the probability stands at approximately 1 in 1,625,100.
Looking forward, the next draw promises more thrill and anticipation, as players across the country set their eyes on yet another chance at life-changing wins. With the current lottery culture thriving and the lure of large payouts, it’s no wonder the El Gordo de la Primitiva remains one of Spain's most beloved lotteries.
Players wishing to participate can place their bets through various means, either by visiting official lottery retailers or via online platforms offered by Loterías y Apuestas del Estado. No matter the method, fans of the lottery will be eagerly waiting for the next results. If luck is on their side, who knows? The next draw could turn someone’s dreams of wealth and fortune, symbolized as €12 million, from mere fantasy to reality.
