Lotteries are quite mysterious; not everyone is lucky enough to win. Some people may buy lottery tickets their entire lives and still not hit the jackpot. But the world is full of surprises. In Italy, if you buy lottery tickets and don't win, you can actually get compensation.
In the past year, a 29-year-old Italian man spent around 3,000 euros to buy 255 Italian scratch-off lottery tickets. Surprisingly, he didn't win a single one. This man was very upset and decided to sue the Italian National Lottery company using legal means. Hearing this, one might think this man was money-crazy. But in the end, he won the case! The local court stated, 'The lottery tickets purchased by this man from the National Lottery company did not indicate the probability of winning or warn about the risks of gambling addiction. Therefore, these lottery tickets were considered invalid.'
It's worth noting that Italy is a country with a relatively high gambling addiction rate. To protect public health, a previous law stipulated that all scratch-off tickets must display the probability of winning and warn about the risks of gambling addiction. If the card is too small to print this information, lottery companies need to guide ticket buyers to their website to check the details of the winning probabilities. Finally, the Italian National Lottery company was required to refund all the money this man spent on scratch-off tickets. |
