Historical El Gordo Changes

The 20th century brought with it a greater demand for more lotteries in Spain. In 1985, the La Primitiva lottery was brought back after it was abolished in 1862. The fact that the La Primitiva lottery was such a huge success, other lotteries launched like the BonoLoto in 1988 and the El Gordo in 1993. When it was first launched, the El Gordo draw was only held once a month. In October 1997, it was changed to a weekly draw and in 2005 an additional ninth (9th) prize tier was added.
