Bono Loto is a relatively new lottery, having begun in Spain in 1988. It is run by Loteria Nacional (National Lottery) and tickets sell for cheaper than other major Spanish lotteries.

 

Considering the cheaper price of tickets, the jackpot is still very generous. The largest jackpot ever won was €7 million in 1990. Those lucky enough to win the jackpot pay about 20% tax on the winnings. Winnings are received as a cash deposit.

Bono Loto is drawn 4 nights a week, on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at 21:30 local time.

 

The Bono Loto is a 6 from 49 lottery. Players need to select 6 numbers from a set of 1-49 in order to be in the game. The jackpot is won by the lucky player who chooses all 6 numbers drawn in the draw they have entered. As with many Spanish lotteries, there is a supplementary number, called the Complimentario. The Complimentario provides the opportunity for those who have only chosen 5 correct numbers to win the second tier prize if the Complimentario matches. Also, there is a Reintegro number, which is randomly added to each ticket. If the Reintegro on your ticket matches that chosen, you win the sixth tier prize. 1 in 10 players win this.

 

The Bono Loto only has a six tier prize breakdown. This means that the likelihood of winning in a particular tier is better than those lotteries with more tiers!

 

 Many people use very random methods to choose their lottery numbers. They may use birth dates of family members, or other special dates, or maybe even phone numbers. But the best way to choose numbers that are more likely to win is to make an informed choice. Bono Loto is usually won by people who pick numbers according to a ratio of 3/3, 2/4 or 4/2 odd/even numbers as well as high/low numbers.
