How La Primitiva Prize Tiers Work
While the jackpot requires a perfect match, La Primitiva awards prizes for partial matches as well. Matching 4 of 6 main numbers is far more likely than matching all 6, which is why lower-tier prizes are smaller but won more frequently. The Reintegro adds complexity — since it is drawn from a separate pool of 10 numbers, it effectively multiplies the number of possible outcomes and creates additional prize tiers.
