The lottery of receipts continues also in 2023even if everything changes. This is the free competition linked to the Italia Cashless program developed by the former Conte government to encourage the use of credit, debit, ATM, prepaid cards and payment apps.
Those who have not yet taken part in the receipt lottery can still participate in the next draws. We remember that all natural persons of legal age residing in Italy can participatewho have procured the lottery code (you can retrieve it here) and use electronic payment instruments for purchases of goods or services from retail businesses.
How the receipt lottery works
Although it has been called a flop (here we have explained why) and, as we said, the government has decided to modify it to make it more like a scratch card, to participate in the lottery it is enough for now to show the merchant, at the time of every cashless purchase, therefore not in cashyour own code.
done this, the electronic receipt issued automatically gives away virtual tickets to participate in the lottery: a virtual ticket for every euro spent, up to a maximum of 1,000 virtual tickets for each receipt of an amount equal to or greater than 1,000 euros. If the amount spent is greater than 1 euro, any decimal figure greater than 49 cents will produce another virtual ticket.
As soon as the reform is approved, the receipt lottery will become an instant game: Here you will find all the new arrivals.
Purchases excluded
However, not all purchases allow you to participate in the lottery. As we said, only card and app purchases are valid, but not all. Purchases are excluded:
- made in cash;
- for an amount of less than 1 euro;
- made online;
- intended for the exercise of business, art or profession;
- documented by electronic invoices;
- for which the fee data is transmitted to the Health Card system (for example purchases made at pharmacies, parapharmacies, opticians, analysis laboratories, veterinary clinics, etc.);
- for which the buyer requests the operator to acquire his tax code for the purposes of tax deduction or deduction.
