What Is Quinigol?
Quick answer: Quinigol is a Loterías y Apuestas del Estado football pool where you predict the exact score of 6 football matches by marking each team’s goals: 0, 1, 2 or M (three or more). Each bet costs €1, it is played with each football matchday, and prizes start at 2 exact scores; if nobody gets all 6, the jackpot rolls over.

Quinigol is a sports bet from Loterías y Apuestas del Estado where you predict the exact number of goals scored by the home team and the away team in 6 football matches selected each week. Unlike the Quiniela, it's not enough to guess who wins: you need to get the exact scoreline for each team, which makes it a more specific game with prizes that can be very high.
How to Play Quinigol
To play, fill in a betting slip marking, for each of the 6 matches, the number of goals you think the home team and the away team will score, choosing between 0, 1, 2, or M (for 3 or more goals). You can play at any authorized point of sale, place several bets on the same slip, or combine different options to increase your chances of winning.
When Are the Draws Held
Quinigol is drawn weekly, usually alongside the same league matches used for the Quiniela. Ticket sales close before the first match kicks off, so it's best to place your bet with enough time to spare.
Prize Categories
Quinigol awards prizes across different categories based on the number of exact predictions:
- First category: 6 exact predictions
- Second category: 5 exact predictions
- Third category: 4 exact predictions
- Fourth category: 3 exact predictions
- Fifth category: 2 exact predictions
If no one hits the first category, the jackpot rolls over to the next draw, which can lead to extraordinary prizes.
How to Check If You've Won
You can check your Quinigol ticket at any authorized point of sale, on the official Loterías y Apuestas del Estado website, or through specialized mobile apps. Just enter your ticket number or scan it to find out instantly if you've won. The largest prizes must be claimed at Loterías offices, while smaller amounts are paid out directly at the point of sale.
Is It Worth Playing Quinigol?
Quinigol is an exciting alternative for football fans looking for something more than just picking a match winner. While getting the exact score right in 6 matches isn't easy, its low cost per bet and the chance of winning very high prizes make it an appealing game, especially if you enjoy following team stats and form closely.
