Receipt lottery, does it seem absurd to you that someone could have won 5 million without spending a euro? Here’s how it was possible.
Someone has never believed it, someone else continues to try even though Lady Luck has never paid them the slightest attention. However It’s free and trying, as we know, never hurts. If we are here to tell you this crazy story, moreover, it is precisely to demonstrate that it is always worth trying.
The protagonist of this “story”, anything but fictional, comes from the Bel Paese, more precisely from the city of Milan. And it is closely linked to an initiative that the Italian government launched three years ago, starting from the month of February 2021, with the clear aim of encouraging electronic payments and minimizing the circulation of cash. If, at first, Italians seemed to have welcomed the news with a certain enthusiasm, they then stopped talking about it.
Nonetheless, many people continued to play every time they made a purchase at any point of sale. To participate in the receipt lottery, in fact, you simply need to show your lottery code. Every receipt, as long as the purchase has been paid for with debit or credit cardgenerates a unique code which then contributes to the various draws foreseen in the initiative’s calendar.
Receipt lottery, the very rich annual prize goes to Milan
Just over a month ago, we told you how a resident of Teramo had bought it one of the 10 major national awards up for grabs with the monthly draw, taking home 100 thousand euros for one receipt of only 35 euros. Today’s story, however, is even crazier, if that’s possible.
Someone in Milan, without investing money in the purchase of scratch cards and without playing any combination of Lotto and Superenalotto, won a prize that would not be enough to describe as crazy. It will gross 5 million because the unique code linked to your receipt was found within theannual draw of the Receipt Lottery.
All of this, therefore, thanks to the fact that, when paying for the shopping at the supermarket, he showed his code and participated in the initiative promoted three years ago by the Italian government. Dumb luck? Certainly yes, but also a good dose of obstinacy, considering that this player, unlike others, never let go and continued to believe, indeed, in this special Lottery. And his choice paid off. He paid in every sense.
