Complaints began to appear a few days ago on the Facebook page “Vaccination lottery – winners”. “Hello, please have anyone run out of the € 100? I was drawn on August 18th and tomorrow is the 30th day since the draw and still nothing.” Luke, for example, asked. But he was not the only one.

Fiasco from start to finish ?! Vaccination lottery faces another embarrassment: Winners ask where their money is

We asked the Ministry of Finance itself about the complaints and their reasons. This has now explained that the error occurs on the part of the competitors and warns them to check the account number they are entering well. “The Ministry registered approximately 600 cases in which people filled in the wrong account number (IBAN) when paying out almost 60,000 winnings.” said the resort. The Ministry of Finance will now contact these people additionally to correct the data so that the winnings can be paid out as soon as possible.

“To date, all EUR 100 prizes have been paid out, which were drawn up last week and at the same time all the details were entered correctly when registering. So some winners received money within three days of the draw. Due to the high number of cases with incorrect IBAN in the case of small winnings, the Ministry of Finance has decided to verify the account numbers of all winners of EUR 10,000 and EUR 100,000 winnings, which will be paid out in the coming days together with EUR 1,000 winnings, “ they added.

They also pointed out that “The prize is paid to the competitor within 60 days of the evaluation of the conditions for entitlement to a prize in the case of a bonus prize and within 30 days of the evaluation of the conditions for entitlement to a prize in the case of winnings other than a prize prize.” Therefore, it does not apply that every winner will receive money within 30 days. Those who have won higher amounts have to wait longer.

At the same time, the Ministry pointed out that the deadline for payment does not begin to run with the publication of the names of the winners, but only from the final verification of the person drawn by the Ministry of Finance. “This confirmation will be given to the winner in the form of an SMS and in the form of an e-mail, where the Ministry of Finance will inform him that the person has been drawn and is winning.” stated.

Citizens are therefore asking for patience and assuring them that they are doing it “all in order to ensure that the funds are paid out as far as possible and as soon as possible to the correct accounts of the winners.”
