State lottery and betting is a state-owned company affiliated to the Ministry of Finance and Public Administration that puts together almost a dozen draws, including La Primitiva, BonoLoto, El Gordo de la Primitiva, La Quiniela, Lototurf, Quinigol, Quintuple Plus, the National Lottery and EuroMillions.
In 2022 alone, state lotteries and betting achieved a turnover of over 9.687 million euros, they awarded 6.148 million euros in winnings, while 3.486 million euros were collected from the state treasury.
From the profits of this public company, 25.5 million euros were allocated to social purposes, adding 1,072,748 beneficiaries, while its suppliers earned 229 million euros while employing 516 people.
The origins of this state-owned company date back more than 250 years, in 1763, when the then King Calos III. founded the so-called “Royal Lottery”, the winnings of which were intended to benefit hospitals, hospices and other public institutions.
The first draw that took place was similar to that of La Primitiva, half a century later the National Lottery began to play.
At that time, the name was changed from Lotería Real to Lotería Primitiva Nacional a few decades later. Shortly before the first century of its founding, it was renamed the National Lottery.
Over the course of the 20th century it began to take a form similar to that known today. Red Cross Draw, La Quiniela, La Primitiva, El BonoLoto and El Gordo have been added.
The novelties would continue in the 21st century with the introduction of new draws such as Euromillones, Lototurf, Quintuple Plus and El Quinigol.
Then came December 3, 2010, when a decree created the Loterías y Apuestas del Estado public economic entity as we know it today.
