Participation in Take the Bill and Win Prize Contest with the Help of an App

Since Saturday, the citizens of Serbia are able to scan bills for the “Take the Bill and Win” prize contest, whose value is EUR 1.7 million, as announced by the minister of finance of Serbia, Sinisa Mali.

Announcing the beginning of the prize contest on Friday, December 23, 2022, he said that the citizens would be able to download the mobile phone app for scanning the QR codes on the bills from that date.

Instead of the standard envelopes, as he said, from now on, when taking part in the contest, QR codes will be used, which can be scanned by a mobile phone through the app, in line with the new fiscalization system.

The app is adapted for all mobile phones, and when downloading the app, the citizens may register by providing their data.

Through one app, it is possible to create five individual accounts from which bills are collected for taking part in the prize contest.

– We are doing this in order to raise the citizens’ awareness, so that they would fight the shadow economy together with us. The new feature is that each bill is in fact a betting slip – Mali said.

Mali said that a new feature was that there was no limitation as to the amount on the bill scanned, as had been the case the year before, when the lowest amount needed to be RSD 100.

The first prize-draw will take place on January 28, and the second on February 25. This year, the prize fund is EUR 1.7 million, or, as Mali called it, an equivalent to 10 apartments.
