More than 27 million euros come with the winning ticket sold on the island of La Palma

The biggest prize in the history of Spain’s Primitiva lottery, a jackpot of more than 27 million €, has gone to a lucky winner in Tazacorte, on the island of La Palma, the Canary Islands, in the Primitiva el Gordo this Sunday. The winning combination was 16-32-34-45-53, with 7 as the Reintegro.

It exceeds the previous highest win of 26.2 million €, also in El Gordo de la Primitiva, by just under one million €. The win in that draw on 8th April 2007 was 26.2 million in Monteagudo, Murcia.
