The "Dream Lottery" is offering participants the chance to win a luxury apartment in Jerusalem or a substantial cash prize, with a deadline approaching for a bonus draw. Those who purchase a ticket before the first of the Hebrew month of Kislev (November 11) will be automatically entered into a bonus draw for $15,000 in cash, in addition to the main lottery for the apartment.
The grand prize is a new, 1.3 million dollar apartment in the "Lev Ha'ir" project in Jerusalem's Givat Mordechai neighborhood, complete with a large balcony, parking, and storage. Alternatively, the winner can opt for a cash prize of $700,000. For an additional 70 shekels, the apartment can be furnished with appliances worth $25,000.
Since 2018, the lottery has awarded eight apartments in Jerusalem. Participants like Shuki, who buys a ticket annually, view the purchase as a win-win situation, as proceeds fund various charitable causes. "If I don't win, someone else gets an apartment in Jerusalem, and my money went to good things. I don't lose anything," he stated.
Ticket purchases fund initiatives including Torah scrolls for IDF bases, a bulletproof ambulance for Sderot, and Shabbat food packages for needy families. The lottery also supports the Lithuanian, Hasidic, and Sephardic communities. A single ticket costs 660 shekels, and a current promotion doubles each purchase, giving buyers an extra ticket for free.
The main lottery drawing is scheduled for the second of Adar II in 2027, to be broadcast live. However, the deadline for the $15,000 cash bonus draw is the first of Kislev.
