Take Your Receipt and Win: The Craziest Lottery in Serbia?
Have you ever thought that throwing away a receipt could win you an apartment or a car? No, this is not a joke! The Serbian Tax Administration has launched the lottery “Take Your Receipt and Win,” which has already attracted massive attention in the first half of 2025 – over 14 million receipts and nearly 80 million unique codes have been registered!
How to participate? All you need to do is keep your fiscal receipt issued from January 1, 2025, and register through the “Take Your Receipt and Win” app. Registration is simple: enter your phone number, name, surname, address, and ID card number. The app is available online and at all sales points using fiscal cash registers.
What can you win? The prize pool is a bombshell! Five luxury duplex apartments of 91 square meters each in the Zemunske Kapije neighborhood in Belgrade, with a total value of 1.2 million euros! Yes, you read that right – apartments! Additionally, ten Fiat Grande Punto cars, five electric and five hybrid, await lucky winners.
When are the draws? The first prize draw is scheduled for autumn and will be broadcast live on the First Program of Radio Television Serbia. Five shows are planned, each drawing three winners: two car winners and one apartment winner.
Why does it matter? This lottery is not just fun – it’s part of a broader strategy by the Serbian government and the National Alliance for Local Economic Development (NALED) to raise awareness about the importance of fiscal receipts and fight the grey economy. So, every receipt you keep helps the state and might reward you!
But is it all that great? Of course, there are skeptics. Some say it’s just another way to force citizens to be “good” taxpayers, while others say the lottery is a great incentive for honest shopping. Either way, the fact remains – over 14 million receipts have been registered, showing people believe in their chance to win something valuable.
Fun or trap? While waiting for the draw, we can wonder – is this just another trick or a real chance to change habits? If you’ve ever thrown away a receipt, maybe it’s time to change that habit. Who knows, maybe you’ll be the lucky winner of an apartment or a car!
