Winning numbers
The winning combination for the Sunday, 2 August 2026 draw of El Gordo de la Primitiva was 23, 16, 29, 35, and 51. The key number (reintegro) was 5. Total ticket sales for the draw reached 3,830,727 euros.
Prize breakdown
No ticket matched all five numbers plus the key number, so the first-category prize went unclaimed.

One ticket matched five numbers without the key number, earning the second-category prize. That ticket was validated at the Loterías y Apuestas del Estado administration office number 28 in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona), located at Rambla de la Marina, 366.
Next draw
Players who did not win can try again next Sunday. El Gordo de la Primitiva draws are held exclusively on Sundays. Each bet costs 1.50 euros, and players select five numbers from a pool of 1 to 54. The game allocates 55% of ticket sales to prizes, distributed across several prize tiers.
A lottery with centuries of history
While El Gordo de la Primitiva is a modern variant, Spain's lottery tradition stretches back to the 18th century. The first draw of La Primitiva, the country's oldest lottery game, took place in 1763 under King Carlos III as a means to raise state funds without imposing new taxes. Originally called Lotería por Números, it was conceived as a fairer alternative to other revenue-raising methods. After a period of interruption, La Primitiva was restored in its modern form in 1985. Today, players choose six numbers from 1 to 49, with a complementary number and a reintegro. The game's jackpot accumulates when there is no top-tier winner, leading to occasional massive payouts. The largest prize in La Primitiva's history was awarded on 15 October 2015, when a single ticket won over 101 million euros. Beyond entertainment, a portion of lottery revenues supports social, cultural, and sports programs through public bodies. Participation is possible both at physical points of sale and through digital platforms, broadening its reach to new audiences.
