1. Participation
1.1. To be eligible to participate, the LIDL Malta customers must also have downloaded and registered as a LIDL Plus Malta customer. This is a free to download and use customer loyalty smartphone app available on 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 assume 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 membership of the LIDL Plus Malta App over the period indicated in clause 2 below, all their respective ticket/s will automatically be revoked and considered to have never taken place.
1.3. As from the 28th October 2024 and for the duration of the period as indicated in clause 2 below, all LIDL Plus Malta App customers will be presented with a banner on their 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 consumer does not agree to participate in the Prize Draw at the first access, 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 App 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 five Euro (€5) spent on any Deluxe or Limited Edition Range Products (Limited Edition Range can be identified by the wording on their packaging identifying them as ‘Limited Edition’), or a mix of both, hereinafter referred to as “Promotional Products”, will entitle the customer to one (1) chance to win either of the draws within the Lottery, following this example:
Name | # Units | Unit Price | € Spend | # of Chances |
---|---|---|---|---|
Promotional Product 01 | 1 | €5.50 | €5.50 | 1 |
Promotional Product 02 | 3 | €10.00 | €30.00 | 6 |
Promotional Product 03 | 4 | €4.50 | €18.00 | 3 |
TOTAL CHANCES | 10 |
The items listed above are fictitious and for illustration purposes only.
The minimum amount of five Euro (€5) spent on any Promotional Product is net of any Lidl discounts and/or Lidl Plus coupons/spending vouchers or BCRS deposits.
1.7. Once the customer has paid the individual receipt at the store, should they have successfully purchased at least the minimum of five Euro (€5) worth of Promotional Products, the customer will be advised on screen of the number of chances to win that the App has calculated. The customer will at this point be able to choose whether to play the chances as individual “tickets” – each ticket being a separate participation in the draw or postpone participation to a subsequent weekly draw. If the chances to win continue to be postponed to the effect that they are not used within the “Period of the Lottery”, they will be lost forever.
- 1.7.1. Should the customer opt to play their ticket/s instantly, they should proceed by pressing the ‘Send Ticket/ Send Tickets’ button on screen. Through this – all accumulated chances to win until that
- 1.7.2. Should the customer want to postpone participation to a subsequent draw, their chances to win are 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 on the stored chances to win. Through this same dashboard – the customer can at any point then play their chances to win.
1.8. 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.
1.9. 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 LIDL Plus App.
1.10. 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.
1.11. As according to the Laws of Malta, all entrants must be aged 18 years or over on the day they enter the Lottery. Customers will only be able to receive a Prize on LIDL’s receipt of the Declaration Form mentioned in clause 3.5 hereunder. LIDL Malta reserves the right to void any transactions with minors or defaulters and to confiscate all winnings, if any, in order to return the minor to the state the minor was prior to playing. Proof of age, in the form of a valid ID Card, Passport or Driver`s Licence, may be required before delivery of the Prizes.
