Dreamify real estate lottery operations
Overview
Dreamify, a Hamburg-based non-profit organization, operates the Traumhausverlosung, a state-approved social lottery that awards high-value real estate rather than cash prizes. The lottery includes a charitable component, directing at least 20 percent of revenue toward social causes. Participants can access prizes through various online ticket packages or monthly subscriptions.
As of late 2026, the lottery is conducting a drawing for a Baltic Sea property valued at 2.1 million euros. Mathematical analysis by Professor Christian Hesse suggests that the winning probabilities for this raffle are significantly higher than those of traditional lotteries. Based on ticket sales data from earlier in 2026, Hesse noted that the odds for certain ticket packages could be approximately 132 times better than standard Lotto jackpot odds.
