In Italy, the receipt lottery currently in operation is the deferred lottery, which SIGN IT lite supports.
An instant lottery is also provided for by the regulation (AdE provision of 18 January 2023), but it has not been launched yet and no start date has been set. Our software solution (SIGN IT) will support the deferred lottery and, provided it is actually launched, the instant lottery as well, in line with the technical specifications for software solutions.
Consumers can get their personal lottery code on the official Receipt Lottery website and must provide that code to the merchant if they want to participate in the lottery. This is only allowed in case of cashless payments.
When creating a TRANSACTION record of type RECEIPT and CORRECTION in the SIGN IT createRecord endpoint, you can include the lottery code provided by the consumer in the customer.code field.
For CANCELLATION records, this information is directly derived from the original receipt referenced by the cancellation document.
When a lottery code is transmitted, it is appended to the commercial document number (DCW) within the compliance.data, separated by a comma. Example: "DCW2026/1234-0001,NB7A1235"
In the official AdE PDF (retrievable via API), these values are displayed separately as:
- Documento N.
- CODICE LOTTERIA DEL CLIENTE
In a future API version, we may introduce an improved compliance rendering mechanism.
