Sixty-five draws, including weekly, monthly and one annual draw. Total prize money of 36.5 million euros for participants and 7.3 million for retailers. Last year’s figures (available in the 2025 financial statements of Sogei, the tax authorities’ technology partner) show that the receipt lottery continues to award prizes to participants. This is in line with the set of rules that have governed it since its launch at the end of 2020.

Anyone who is of legal age and resident in Italia can generate their lottery code on the dedicated website and show it to participating retailers (for example, this does not apply to e-commerce) at the time of each purchase made via electronic payment. Therefore, payments made in cash are not eligible for the lottery.

A virtual ticket for every euro spent

Once this initial step has been completed, you will be able to show the lottery code for every purchase made at participating retailers and businesses. At that point, the receipt will generate virtual tickets to enter the lottery: one virtual ticket for every euro spent. So, anyone spending 10 euros will receive 10 virtual tickets. If the amount spent is more than one euro, any decimal amount exceeding 49 cents will generate another virtual ticket.

Rewards for shoppers and retailers

Draws take place three times a week:

  •  weekly with 15 prizes of 25,000 euros for customers and 15 prizes of 5,000 euros for retailers;
  •  monthly with 10 prizes of 100,000 euros for customers and 10 prizes of 20,000 euros for retailers;
  • one annual prize worth 5 million euros for the customer and one prize worth 1 million euros for the retailer.

Next draw on 25 June

The next draw on the calendar is the weekly one (offering prizes of 25,000 euros for customers and 5,000 euros for retailers), scheduled for Thursday 25 June. The chance to win will apply to all receipts transmitted and recorded by the lottery system from Monday to Sunday (up to 23:59) of the previous week.

The monthly draws take place on the second Thursday of each month for receipts submitted and recorded by the lottery system by 23:59 on the last day of the previous month. The next draw is therefore on 9 July.

Notification of the win

The Customs and Monopolies Agency notifies winners via certified email (if a certified email address has been provided in the ‘reserved area’ section) or by registered post with acknowledgement of receipt to the residential address or tax domicile recorded in the National Register of Resident Population (ANPR) or in the Tax Register (if the certified email address has not been provided in the ‘reserved area’ section, or is not active, or if the inbox is full at the time of notification). The same applies to successful tenderers: priority is given to notification via certified email (PEC), whilst notification by registered post with acknowledgement of receipt to the tax domicile will be sent if the certified email address is not active or the inbox is full at the time of notification.

Ninety days to claim the prize

You will have 90 days from receipt of the notification to claim the prize. Once this period has elapsed, the prizes will no longer be claimable and will be paid to the Treasury.

Cases of fraud uncovered

There is also another piece of information that emerges from Sogei’s 2025 financial statements. Last year, in fact, the Customs and Monopolies Agency ‘carried out anti-fraud investigations into 110 individuals in respect of whom there were irregularities in purchase transactions on the lottery system’. This is a necessary measure to ensure the full compliance of a scheme designed to promote cashless payments through the concept of rewards.
