Italy’s 2027 budget bill proposes changes to help put instant prizes into operation for its receipt lottery, known as the lotteria degli scontrini.
Under Article 31 of the bill, the Customs and Monopolies Agency (ADM) would be authorized to open one or more bank or postal accounts to manage prize payments.
Prizes below the amount specified in Article 49 of Legislative Decree 231/2007 could be paid without identifying the winner, provided the claimant presents the document entitling them to payment. The provision refers to the statutory cash-payment limit rather than setting a separate fixed amount for lottery prizes.
JAMMA reported the proposal on October 30. The provision addresses payment arrangements and prize collection, without setting new prize amounts or drawing frequencies.
The measures remain proposals. The Chamber of Deputies’ record for bill 3174-bis lists it as assigned to the Budget and Treasury Committee for its first reading.
