Spam from a lottery:

"Did you find a gold card? Enter your win code at <URL> and play in <lottery>, and immediately see which of the prizes you are guaranteed to receive, at least a JBL speaker worth 45 EUR. You pay 15.50 EUR per draw, and there are 15 draws per year. You can cancel at any moment."

I wonder what the grift here is, exactly? I can't imagine them giving away 45 EUR worth of stuff if you can cancel at any time (ie. after a single payment of 15.50 EUR), so what's the catch that makes it profitable for them?

Follow

(Yes I know that they are banking on some percentage of people never cancelling, but that strategy generally only works if cancelling is either a hassle or requires a waiting period. To my knowledge the former is banned here, and the latter, well, they *say* "any time"...)
