BonoLoto

The first draw of BonoLoto was held on 28 February 1988. The aim of the game was to provide frequent draws at affordable prices. Reintegro (Reimbursement) was introduced to the game in 1991.

Play

BonoLoto draws are on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at 19:00 GMT in the official lottery draw studios of the Spanish national lottery operator, Loterías y Apuestas del Estado.

Players have to match 6 numbers from 1-49. During the draw, a 7th, additional number is pulled, the so-called Complimentario (Complementary), which is used to create the 5+1 winning category. BonoLoto has a so-called Reintegro feature. Reintegro is randomly assigned to the ticket upon purchase, and if the ticket has zero hits with the main numbers, but the ticket matches the pulled Reintegro, the player is eligible for a refund of the ticket price. A single line of BonoLoto costs €0.50, and the minimum to play is €1.00, which can be achieved by playing 2 lines for the same draw, or by playing a single line for 2 draws.^[1]
