Physical education teacher wins R$ 1 million from Nota Paraná program.
A physical education teacher from Curitiba won the top prize this month in the Nota Paraná program. The draw took place last week. The winner celebrated receiving R$ 1 million at a time when her monthly income has fallen due to the cancellation of classes because of the coronavirus pandemic – a reality for many others.
“Some students were very kind and were able to continue paying for online classes, but many dropped out. We had to renegotiate the rent for the space and also the financing for the apartment where I live with my husband,” she said.
The woman from Curitiba said she can now relax and mentioned that she will help her mother pay off a property in Campo Grande (MS). Even with the prize, the lucky winner doesn't plan to stop working. "I will continue in my profession, working. After all, it's what I like to do."
Millionaires
The State Finance Secretariat emphasizes the importance of the program in encouraging the population to act as inspectors of establishments, so that everyone consequently issues invoices and pays taxes. The maximum prize of R$ 1 million has been awarded monthly for exactly one year, since March 2020. In one year, the Nota Paraná program has already created 12 new millionaires in Paraná.
In total, R$ 2 million is raffled off to citizens each month. There are also prizes of R$ 200, R$ 10 and R$ 10. Additionally, R$ 2,2 million is raffled off to registered institutions that receive donations of tax receipts.
To participate in the raffles, simply access the system and agree to the rules in your registration profile on the website http://www.notaparana.pr.gov.br. By requesting your CPF (Brazilian taxpayer ID) on the receipt, the taxpayer will receive one electronic ticket for their first purchase and one more ticket for every R$ 200 spent, cumulatively.
All raffles are audited by an independent consulting firm, in accordance with the rules established by current legislation. ( CBN Curitiba – Andressa Tavares)
