Receptkiadvány

Receptkiadvány, commonly known as "receipt advice" or "receipt advice note," is a document used primarily in Hungary to confirm the purchase of lottery tickets. The term originates from the Hungarian word *recept*, meaning "prescription" or "receipt," and *kiadvány*, meaning "advice" or "document." This system was introduced to enhance transparency and prevent fraud in lottery transactions.

The receipt advice note typically includes details such as the lottery ticket number, the type of lottery (e.g., *Lotto*, *Sportlotto*, or *Kockás*), the purchase amount, the date and time of the transaction, and the location where the ticket was bought. It serves as proof of purchase, which can be useful for claiming prizes or verifying transactions.

Originally, receiptkiadvány were issued manually by lottery vendors, but with the digitalization of lottery systems, they are now often provided electronically. Some lottery websites and mobile apps allow users to generate and store digital receipts for their purchases. This shift has improved efficiency and reduced the risk of loss or damage to physical documents.

While receiptkiadvány are primarily associated with Hungarian lotteries, similar systems exist in other countries under different names. Their purpose remains consistent: to provide a secure and verifiable record of lottery ticket purchases. For participants, keeping track of these receipts is essential for ensuring a smooth claims process in the event of a winning ticket.
