Frequently asked questions
What exactly am I buying?+
A numbered copy of the limited-edition art Advent calendar (1'000 copies, €20). The number printed on it, bottom left, is your ticket for all 24 doors. You can reserve a copy online or buy one from a club member.
When do I get my number?+
With the printed calendar. No number is issued in advance — not online and not in the confirmation email. We ship the calendar or you collect it from the club.
How are the winners drawn?+
All winning numbers are determined in a single draw on 28 November 2026, supervised by a delegate of the Commune de Pétange. Every one of the 1'000 numbers takes part. From 1 to 24 December, each door's winning numbers are published on this website at 06:00.
How do I know if I won?+
Scan the QR code on your calendar or open advent.rcbk.lu: today's numbers are shown straight away, and you can check your own number at any time. Keep your calendar — it is your proof.
How do I collect a prize?+
No registration needed: bring your calendar between 2 and 31 January 2027, Monday to Friday 08:00–12:00 and 13:00–17:00, to Toepke, papiers en gros, 45, rue des Bruyères, L-1274 Howald. The original painting is handed over at a dedicated ceremony: the holder of the winning number contacts the club, calendar in hand.
Can a number win more than once?+
Yes — every number takes part for every prize, including the original painting on 24 December.
How does payment by bank transfer work?+
You reserve your calendar and receive a reference (e.g. RCBK-7F3K9Q) and the club's IBAN. Put the reference in the communication of your transfer. Once the club confirms receipt, your copy is reserved and you receive a confirmation. Sales end on 30 November at 23:59; unpaid reservations lapse then.
Where does the money go?+
Every euro goes to children in Madagascar, through E Kannerlaachen asbl, and to social projects in Luxembourg. All prizes are donated by sponsors.
Is this raffle authorised?+
Yes. The raffle is a tombola within the meaning of the Luxembourg Lottery Act of 20 April 1977 and is authorised by the Ministry of Justice (authorisation N° 26-1-0005 (16.09.2026)).
