Sunday's draw of the Spanish lottery Gordo de la Primitiva did not produce a winner of the main prize. As a result, the jackpot for next week has increased to €5.2 million. While no one matched all the numbers, two players correctly guessed five numbers in the second category, resulting in winnings of around €80,000 each.

International Gaming Weekend

In addition to Spain, draws were also held in France (€2 million) and Poland (Lotto and Lotto Plus).

On Sunday, February 22, 2026, another draw of the popular Spanish number game Gordo de la Primitiva took place. Official announcements indicate that not a single participant managed to correctly predict the combination of five numbers and the key number (Número Clave), which is necessary to win the first category prize. The lack of a winner means the prize pool for the next draw, scheduled for March 1, has significantly increased and will be at least €5.2 million. Despite the absence of a main winner, the draw brought success to two individuals who matched a set of five numbers, qualifying for the second category prize. Each of these players will receive an amount of €80,477.57. Concurrently, draws were held in other European countries over the past weekend, including the French Loto, where the stake was €2 million, and the Polish Lotto. In Poland, players had to remember the applicable 10% flat-rate income tax on high winnings. The Spanish lottery La Primitiva has its roots in the 18th century, having been inaugurated in 1763 by King Charles III. The modern version of the game, Gordo de la Primitiva, was introduced in 1993 and since then has been one of the pillars of revenue for the state institution Loterías y Apuestas del Estado. The rules of Gordo de la Primitiva require players to choose 5 numbers from 54 and one additional number from 0 to 9. Statistically, the probability of hitting the main prize is low, which regularly leads to spectacular jackpots. It is worth mentioning that the Spanish gambling market, alongside Lotería Nacional and Bonoloto, is one of the most developed in Europe in terms of the diversity of available jackpots.
