Article 5 — The draw

• The draw takes place on 15 December 2026 at 20:00 CET.

• This is followed by a bonus draw of 5 additional flight tickets to Israel.

Article 6 — Odds of winning

Every ticket sold has an equal chance of any prize. The chance of winning depends on the total number of tickets sold and can therefore not be guaranteed or stated exactly in advance. Participation offers no guarantee of winning whatsoever.

• For prizes with a value above € 2,500, the organiser carries out an identity check (KYC) before payout is made.
• Gambling tax is due on prizes with a value above € 449; this is paid by the organiser, so that the winner receives the prize net.
• If a winner cannot be reached, the organiser makes reasonable efforts over a reasonable period to contact the winner. If the winner remains unreachable thereafter, the prize lapses to the good cause after 6 months.

The proceeds of the lottery are allocated as follows:

• 75% — expansion of Lahav Farm in the Negev (good cause);
