She did not say the password correctly, they nevertheless gave her 100,000 euros. Another half a million euros in the Matovič lottery has its owners – REFRESHER

To date, there are almost 2 million draw tickets in the fate of the vaccine lottery. As most of the participants have two draws, in total about half of the vaccinated Slovaks have already joined the project of the Ministry of Finance.

“We have a third wave of the pandemic. The autumn, which is full of viruses, is starting. “ Vera Wister warned before the draw, stating that interest in vaccinations had been unsatisfactory over the past week. Marcel Forgáč replied that “we will hope” that interest will increase.

Igor Matovič significantly changed his rhetoric during the week and suddenly told reporters that the lottery is not a motivation to increase vaccination, but a reward for the vaccinated. “The lottery has been announced as a means of rewarding the vaccinated,” said the prime minister after the government meeting. The media subsequently warned that they would contradict each other.

All amounts mentioned in the article are listed with tax. The Ministry will send them the 19% tax on winnings, adjusted by the drawn winners.

They also visit hundreds of thousands of winners at home

They were the first to draw Terezia from Hermanovce. She picked up the phone with enthusiasm in her voice and announced that she knew what to do. “Happiness,” cried Slovakia, and they were automatically credited with a prize of 101,000 euros. “I’ve never had one like now,” announced the winner from the east. She still doesn’t know how to use the money because she didn’t expect to win.

She repeated the slogan for sure, wished her a nice evening and Marcel Forgáč suggested a celebration for her.

“The tornado has already started there,” Marcel assured Vera with a smile as he ended the call. The moderator stated that she would like to sit with Mrs. Terezia in Hermanovce, because there is probably a positive mood there.

The Slovaks then had the opportunity to see how the actor Ludwig Bagin visited the winners, who either more or less consciously agreed that RTVS would come to visit them in person after the announcement of the prize. “If you do not give your consent to contact RTVS, we will not exclude you from the draw for the vaccination premium. This means that you will still be included in the draw, even for Sunday’s prize money of 100,000 euros. Participation in the draw does not therefore affect this. “ informs the Ministry of Finance on the subpage Being healthy is a win.

“Wild Little”

The novelty compared to the first two live broadcasts is that the draw in the destiny mixes after each draw.

The second to be drawn was Jakub from Bratislava-Nové Mesto. He picked up the phone in the first second. He was equally prompt with the password itself, so they could hand him 101,000 euros without unnecessary talk. “James, you look like the type who won’t even fire a hand grenade.” joked Marcel Forgáč, who thought the winner was not showing enough emotion. “Being you, I’ll start playing poker,” the moderator advised Jakub from the capital.

Although Jana from Bratislava picked up the phone, her voice heard that she was not ready. When asked to say the password, she shouted “wild little.” She then corrected herself, and when she guessed the correct motto “wild poppies”, Vera Wisterová and Marcel Forgáč recognized it without delay, as she managed to do so within the 20-second limit. As a bonus in the live broadcast, Jana said that she became infected with covidom, even though she was vaccinated. “But the symptoms are milder,” she added. Marcel Forgáč advised her to go together for an exotic vacation.

“Shall I get in there?” Andrej Bičan offered that he would crawl peacefully, just to draw the right competitor.

Veronika from Martin also fulfilled both conditions and received 101 thousand euros. Although she tried for a while to convince the moderators that the whole family was looking forward to her, Marcel Forgáč did not think so. “You don’t spend money on booze and cards,” Andrej Bičan challenged the winner.

The fifth in a row, Viera from Spišská Nová Ves, picked up the phone and guessed the password, but for a moment she did not trust the moderators that she had won the money.

Already with the new rules, but Zuzana from Prešov still doesn’t know if she will get the money

It is still not clear whether Matovič’s ministry will pay the money to Zuzana from Prešov, who did not meet the conditions of the competition. Nevertheless, the next day after the draw, the head of the resort traveled to the east of Slovakia to assure her that he would do everything to get her 400,000 paid.

“The Ministry of Finance of the Slovak Republic does not yet consider the matter with Ms. Zuzana closed. Given the legal complexity of the issue, we are still analyzing the situation. “ the Refresher department replied. In the meantime, the money that Zuzana from Solivar lost has already been won by Manuela from Bratislava.

They changed the rules with regard to Zuzana. This time, they do not announce the password during the phone call, but before the draw. Competitors have at least a minute or two until they get to say the password. The new rules also benefit Slovaks who do not watch live broadcasts. Last week, the satirical website Zomri drew attention to online projects that display the password in real time on the web. Several winners in the live broadcast also admitted that they did not watch television.

At the same time, the ministry added the possibility to use the assistance of a third party, which significantly simplified access for people with visual or hearing disabilities and for seniors.
