Like many southern European countries, Italy has its own version of the Christmas lottery which is traditionally held every year on 6th January, also known as Epiphany. This date is also a holiday in Italy, not because the Three Kings bring gifts, but because Befana the witch brings gifts and sweets to children. The price of a Christmas lottery ticket in Italy will set you back just 5 euros, and as for the prizes, the lucky winner will take away up to 5 million euros.
If you strike it lucky in this year's Christmas Lottery in Italy, or if you are daring to dream of a new life of luxury in 2021, then we have just the thing for you.
