Lidl and RE/MAX Portugal launch 800,000 euro housing contest

Lidl Portugal and RE/MAX Portugal have launched the fifth edition of the ‘Concurso Casas Lidl’, a partnership aiming to award a total of 800,000 euros in housing prizes. The campaign, running from September 21 to October 18, will award one 200,000 euro RE/MAX voucher per week for four weeks.

Customers can participate by using the Lidl Plus app; for every 15 euros spent and registered via the app, participants receive an entry for the weekly draw. The vouchers can be used to cover the full cost of a property or as a down payment for a more expensive home.

The initiative comes amid rising housing costs in Portugal. Data cited indicates that the Housing Price Index grew by 17.8% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2026, while Eurostat reported an 18.9% increase in housing prices in the final quarter of 2025, significantly higher than the EU average of 5.1%.

Since its inception in 2021, the contest has benefited 23 families with approximately 3.9 million euros in housing value. This new edition is expected to bring the total number of beneficiary families to 27 and the total prize value to 4.7 million euros.
