“The lottery” or “Lotteries and Bets” is how we colloquially call the State Society of State Lotteries and Bets, SELAE. The operator that manages the games of chance owned by the state, with draws as important and popular as the Christmas lottery or the Child's Lottery, among others such as Bonoloto, Primitiva, Euromillion, El Gordo de la Primitiva, as well as Quiniela, Quinigol, Lototurf and Quintuple Plus.
SELAE is a body of public responsibility that depends on the Ministry of Finance and Public Administrations, who is responsible for the strategic management and the evaluation and control of effectiveness.
Origin SELAE
The origin of the State Lotteries and State Betting Society dates back to 1984, when the ONLAE (National State Lotteries and Betting Agency) was created, as a result of the unification of the Beneficial Mutual Sports Betting Board and the National Service of Lotteries.
Later, in 2000, it was transformed and renamed Entidad Pública Empresarial Loterías y Apuestas del Estado, to become the current SELAE in 2010.
