The rules of the game are ready. To participate in the Receipt Lottery, simply show the retailer the code found on the “Lottery Portal” (available starting at 12.00:9 PM on March XNUMXth) at the time of purchase, without any identification required.
The 2020 draw kicks off with a monthly prize draw featuring three prizes of €30 each, and an annual prize draw worth €1 million. There will be 90 days to claim your prize, and any unclaimed prizes will go toward the annual prize pool.
The operating instructions, in a measure signed on March 5, 2020.
First step: get the “lottery code”
To participate in the receipt lottery, you must show the merchant your “lottery code,” which can be found using a dedicated feature in the public area of the “Lottery Portal” managed by the Customs and Monopolies Agency.
This is an 8-character alphanumeric code associated with the final consumer’s tax code. The lottery code can be printed or saved on smartphone, tablets, etc.
Who can participate
The lottery is open to all adults residing in Italy who purchase goods or services outside of the scope of their business, art, or profession. During this initial phase, purchases documented via electronic invoices and those for which payment data is transmitted to the health card system are not eligible. Online purchases are also excluded from the lottery.
What fees are involved?
Any amount transmitted electronically to the Revenue Agency and subsequently acquired by the Lottery System is eligible, up to the amount paid at the time, in whole or in part, if the amount is equal to or greater than one euro.
Each prize draw participates in only one weekly draw, one monthly draw and one annual draw, according to the calendar visible on the Lottery Portal.
How to get the “lottery code”
To obtain your lottery code, you need to access the public area of the Lottery Portal, www.lotteriadegliscontrini.gov.it, provided by the Customs and Monopolies Agency. No registration is required: simply enter your tax code into the Portal and the online service will generate an alphanumeric code, also available in barcode format. Once you have it, simply print your lottery code or save it on your mobile device: smartphone, tablet, or cell phone. If you forget your code, there’s no problem: simply log back into the dedicated Portal, enter your tax code, and a new lottery code will be displayed, which you can print or save on your mobile device. The lottery code generation service will subsequently be available in the public area of the Lottery Portal.
