Lototurf is a Spanish lottery game that combines choosing numbers with the outcome of a horse race held at a Spanish racecourse. It is one of the most unusual games on the national scene, since its result depends not only on a numbers draw but also on a real sporting competition.
How do you play Lototurf?
To play, you choose 6 numbers from 1 to 31 and one horse from 1 to 12, which corresponds to the winner of the race linked to the draw. Each ticket also carries a refund number. Your prize depends on how many numbers you match and whether you also pick the winning horse.
When is the draw held?
Lototurf is drawn on Sundays, coinciding with horse races held at Spanish racecourses. Because it depends on the racing calendar, there is not always a draw every week of the year, so it is worth checking the official calendar before playing.
