La Primitiva lottery results for December 28, 2024, have been announced, and exciting developments have emerged for players across Spain. Although there were no winners of the Special Category or First Category, where players could claim big wins, five tickets achieved success at the Second Category level, securing each winner 43,000 euros.
The winning combination for this draw featured the numbers 13, 20, 26, 35, 36, and 46. The complementary number was 12, and the refund or reintegro number was 0. According to Europa Press, "La combinación ganadora del sorteo de 'La Primitiva' celebrado este sábado, 28 de diciembre, ha estado formada por los números 36, 13, 46, 35, 20 y 26." This draw's results highlight the popularity of La Primitiva, which is one of the most beloved lottery games administered by Loterías y Apuestas del Estado, taking place every Monday, Thursday, and Saturday.
This evening's lottery raised impressive funds, with total revenue reaching 11,056,745 euros. Despite the absence of top-tier winners, the remaining categories still offered opportunities for prizes. The absence of winners from the Special Category (which requires matching six numbers plus the reintegro) and the First Category (matching six numbers) means the pooled funds for these tiers will roll over to the next draw, fortifying the potential jackpot, which could reach up to 26,500,000 euros.
Only the five tickets corresponding to the Second Category, matching five numbers and the complementary number, will cash out their winnings of 43,018 euros each. Other winning categories saw activity as well with 126 winners of the Third Category (matching five numbers), where players will receive prizes of 3,129 euros each, followed by 8,713 winners of the Fourth Category (matching four numbers, earning 65 euros), and 173,832 winners of the Fifth Category, who will receive 8 euros each for matching three numbers.
"En el sorteo de La Primitiva de hoy no existen boletos acertantes de Categoría Especial (6 aciertos + Reintegro) ni de Primera Categoría (6 aciertos)," noted sources. The lottery remains accessible to players, allowing them to select their own numbers manually or via a random generator, which is preferred for many hoping for good fortune at the ticket counter.
Playing La Primitiva is straightforward: participants select six numbers ranging from 1 to 49 and pay just one euro per ticket. Interestingly, numbers are drawn regularly every Monday, Thursday, and Saturday, inviting extensive participation during these scheduled events. While this draw may not yield monumental wins for many, the anticipation of each draw keeps players engaged and hopeful.
For those who may win, claiming the prize is clear-cut. For prizes under 2,500 euros, players can easily collect from authorized lottery points, including lottery shops. Those claiming amounts over this value, needing to present their winning tickets at designated banks (like BBVA or Caixabank), must also present their identification documents. "Este tipo de premios están sujetos a identificación y no requieren una cuenta bancaria,” one source clarified, providing necessary guidance for winners.
Curiously, since the new regulations began on January 1, 2020, all lottery wins up to 40,000 euros are exempt from taxes, meaning players can take home their full winnings, provided their prizes fall below this threshold. If someone wins over 40,000 euros, they are subject to be taxed at 20%, which is another pivotal point for participants to remain aware of.
Considering the communal aspect of playing, some opt to pool resources, sharing tickets. This necessitates joint trips to the bank to claim winnings over 2,500 euros, with all parties needing to present ID. Friendly advice for shared winnings suggests keeping tickets intact during the process to streamline payouts, as sharing gains post-claim can complicate tax situations.
Looking forward, the next draw of La Primitiva is set to continue carrying on its tradition, with players excited about the increasing potential for massive cash prizes. The opportunity for another draw means additional chances to win and partake in this long-standing lottery game. Players will once again select their hopeful numbers, bracing themselves for the draw on Monday, January 1, 2025, where even greater sums could be on the line.
With La Primitiva's continuous evolution and engagement within Spanish society, players remain enthusiastic about their next prospects, ever hopeful of beating the odds. Play safely, dream big, and keep those lucky numbers ready for another chance of winning. Who knows what fortune awaits next?
