The lottery
The contest was promoted by the Conte government to encourage purchases, the use of cards and contain tax evasion.
Up for grabs 20 prizes, 10 of 100 thousand euros for buyers and another 10, of 20 thousand euros each, for merchants.
According to data from the Ministry of Economy, the Italians who have activated the code are 4 million for a total of 535 million tickets.
The chance of hitting one of the ten prizes is one in 53 million.
Consumerism
A lottery that the Consumerism association defines as a flop.
According to the consumer association, only 250,000 merchants, that is 35% of the total, have updated their cash registers "due to lack of technology or connection or due to difficulties in dealing with software update costs, which have risen to over 300 euros per recorder ".
Confesercenti
The same criticism comes from Confesercenti because only about 6% of customers, on average, ask to participate.
The lottery effect was felt only at the beginning, then it also dropped due to the restrictions for the containment of Covid.
A pesa explains Confesercenti also “the low chances of winning: one probability in 53 million.
A ticket from any 'normal' lottery, which usually offers one chance in 10/11 million, - points out Confesercenti - is a better investment "." Whatever the cause, the introduction of the lottery did not bring the hoped for in stores. increase in consumption, and to date it does not even seem to have generated a greater use of electronic money.
We therefore ask ourselves - continue the exhibitors - whether it still makes sense to waste resources in initiatives such as this or Cashback: it is almost 5 billion euros in two years, which could be used to support companies in a phase of severe constraints ".
