How digitalization streamlines the selection process 💻

The lottery system relies on a digital platform that automates the cross-referencing of data with the municipal register and income records. This allows verifying in minutes whether applicants meet the income and residency criteria, eliminating the bureaucracy of physical paperwork. Furthermore, the algorithm used ensures a random and transparent process, as it assigns a unique number to each application. The result will be published online, avoiding in-person queues and human errors.

The luck of living: easier than matching on an app 🎲

Signing up for the lottery is almost like matching on a dating app, but with fewer pet photos. However, here the algorithm isn't looking for your soulmate, but your income. Unlike Tinder, where success is elusive, in this lottery the probability is mathematical: 78 homes versus thousands of applicants. So, if fortune smiles on you, you'll be able to show off a new apartment while others keep swiping left on the free market.
