The Lottery shall consist of four (3) Weekly draws (the “Weekly Draws”) each consisting of thirty (30) winners and one (1) Grand Final draw (the “Grand Final”) consisting of one [1] winner as further described in Clause 3, and, collectively, shall be referred to as the “Prize Draws” within these Terms and Conditions.

1.1. To be eligible to participate, the customer needs to be resident in Malta and have registered as a LIDL Plus Malta customer. This is a loyalty programme available within a free to download and use customer smartphone app available on the IOS, Android and Huawei respective App Stores (the “App”). For more information on LIDL Plus please refer to https://www.LIDL.com.mt/c/what-is-LIDL-plus/s10017180 .

It is clarified that LIDL assumes no responsibility for any access problem, impediment, disfunction or difficulty regarding the App arising from the configuration of the user's device such as software or hardware, transmission and connection, internet connection, accessibility and mobile and landline telephone network, any incompatibility due to operating software release updates that may prevent a user from participating in the operation.

1.2. Should the participating customer choose to terminate their LIDL Plus Malta membership over the period indicated in Clause 2 below, all their respective participations will automatically be revoked and considered to have never taken place.

1.3. As from the 13^th January 2025 and for the duration of the period as indicated in Clause 2 below, all LIDL Plus Malta customers will be presented with a banner on their App Home Page containing a summary description of the Lottery and an invitation to read carefully these Terms and Conditions governing the Lottery.

• 1.3.1. Should the customer not agree to these Terms and Conditions or decide not to participate in the Lottery, the customer can simply ignore the banner.
• 1.3.2. Should the customer agree to these Terms and Conditions, the customer will select to proceed with their participation in the Lottery through the appropriately labelled on-screen button “ACCEPT T&C & PLAY”, at which point the backend of the App will instantly and automatically register the customer as a participant without requiring any additional request for acceptance of lottery Terms and Conditions. Following acceptance, the section dedicated to the competition will be visible on the Home Page where it will be possible to access detailed information on the event and view the number of entries to be sent to participate in the competition. It should be noted that in the event that the customer does not agree to participate in the Prize Draw at the first opportunity, they may decide to do so at a later time by clicking on the " ACCEPT T&C & PLAY" button on a screen that will appear on the Home Page.

1.4. From the moment the customer is a registered participant, the system will automatically track all the purchases made by the customer at any LIDL store in Malta and Gozo, identifying the description of the items, the unit price and the number of units purchased. Any purchases, effected prior to the completion of the registration process, will not be taken into consideration for the scope of the Lottery.

1.5. Transactions are only valid for purchases in which the customer has correctly scanned their LIDL Plus at the scanner at the checkout before the payment process. Any purchases completed without the correct scanning will not be included. It is IMPORTANT that this stage is carefully followed to ensure the correct processing of all the purchases as it is not possible to add any missed purchases at any time after that.

1.6. During the period of the Lottery as defined in Clause 2 below, each seven Euro (€7) spent on any Product (With the exception of baby formula, telephone top-up cards and gift cards) in a single purchase, hereinafter referred to as “Products”, will entitle the customer to one (1) Stamp represented by a “Shopping Cart” icon on the appropriate banner on the Home Screen.

1.7. Once the customer has accumulated five (5) Stamps, the App will automatically award the customer one (1) ticket – a chance to participate in both the Weekly and Grand Final Draw. Should the customer purchase value be equal or greater than thirty-five Euro (€35) – the customer will automatically receive the appropriate number of tickets within the App – with the additional Stamps kept in balance.

1.8. The following table aims to illustrate the dynamics of the “First Instance” in which the awarding of Stamps occurs, and the “Second Instance”, in which these Stamps are processed into Tickets. Any Stamps not converted to Tickets will be kept as a balance in the App till the end of the period of the Lottery.

The total receipt listed above are fictitious and for illustration purposes only.

1.9. The minimum amount of seven Euro (€7) on any single purchase is net of any LIDL discounts and/or Lidl Plus coupons/vouchers or BCRS deposits.

1.10. Once the customer has been awarded a ticket, the customer will at this point be able to choose whether to instantly play the tickets – each ticket being a separate participation in the draw; or postpone participation to a subsequent draw. If the chances to win continue to be postponed to the effect that they are not used within the “Period of the Lottery” (as defined in clause 2 below), they will be lost forever. Similarly, any unconverted Stamps at the end of the Period of the Lottery will also be lost.

• 1.10.1. Should the customer opt to play their participations instantly, they should proceed by pressing the “Send Ticket/ Send Tickets” button on screen. Through this – all the customer’s accumulated tickets will be submitted to participate within the then current Weekly Draw, and in the Grand Final draw alike; and
• 1.10.2. Should the customer want to postpone participation to a subsequent draw, their tickets will be stored in the App until they are played. At any point in time, the customer can refer to the Home Page of their App where a dedicated dashboard reports both on the stored Tickets and the accumulated Stamps. Through this same dashboard – the customer can at any point instantly play all the accumulated Tickets.

1.11. There is no limit to the number of times a single customer may choose to participate in one or more draws, so long as it falls within the “Period of the Lottery” as defined within Clause 2 below.

1.12. All chances to win and any subsequent tickets are registered on the App such that once a customer decides to play their chances to win, the App will generate an anonymous random unique number corresponding to each individual chance to win and each individual chance will be registered as pertaining to the customer’s specific client ID (generated by the App when the customer has first registered as a LIDL Plus customer). The customer can at any point in time access their own records and balances through appropriate dashboards and report screens made available on their smartphone through their App.

1.13. Whilst any individual is not precluded from winning more than one (1) prize over the different draws, that same person may only win one (1) prize per Weekly draw and one (1) on the Grand Final Prize.

1.14. As according to the Laws of Malta, all entrants must be aged 18 years or over on the day they enter the Lottery.
