Fun Facts about Loteria Nacional Raffles

The Loteria Nacional is one of the oldest lottery games in Spain, along with La Primitiva. Back then, this Spanish raffle was called the Modern Lottery (Lotería Moderna), precisely, to make the distinction from La Primitiva. The first raffle draw was held back in 1973, for tax purposes. Currently, the winning numbers are shown on large blue tables by children of the San Ildefonso school, which was formerly an orphanage. The students of the same school are also involved in the well-known ceremony of Loteria de Navidad – the Spanish Christmas raffle and the most anticipated lotto even of the year in Spain.
