From December 1, citizens can apply for a "lottery code" to participate in the drawing of prizes up to 1 million euros.
The Lottery of receipts is approaching its debut. Starting December 1, you can register on the government's initiative website on the appropriate portal to get your Lottery code and from January 2021 you can accumulate virtual tickets for draws that entitle you to rich prizes.
The government's initiative is part of the "Cashless Italy Plan" approved in the Budget Law, which introduces in addition to the Lottery of receipts also cashback. The aim is to encourage electronic payments and the issuing of receipts, introducing refunds or prizes for those who make purchases. For the Lottery of receipts, by showing your code when making purchases in physical stores, either in cash or with payment cards, you will get a virtual ticket for every euro spent. The tickets will give the opportunity to participate in draws, both ordinary and zerocontanti, which will be weekly, monthly and yearly.
Lottery of receipts: how it works
The Lottery of receipts is free and linked to normal purchases of consumers. The requirements to participate are residence in Italy and being of age. Showing at the time of purchase the lottery code, which can be generated from December 1 on the portal of the initiative, you will get an electronic receipt, but above all the virtual ticket to participate in the draws.
For every euro spent, you will have a virtual ticket up to a maximum of 100 tickets for purchases with an amount equal to or greater than 1000 euros. This means that with 10 receipts you can get up to 10 thousand virtual tickets. In addition, by spending 1.50 euros, you will still get two virtual tickets.
Participation in the lottery is provided for purchases in physical stores with the following methods of payment: cash, debit cards, credit cards, debit cards, prepaid cards, cards and apps connected to private payment circuits and limited spending.
The initiative does not include online purchases, nor those for which the consumer requires the merchant to acquire their tax code for purposes of tax deduction or deduction.
