Italian term or phrase: Concorso misto a premi
Buongiorno a tutti.

Un cliente mi ha chiesto un favore, e visto che abitualmente non traduco verso la lingua, sono un po' nei pasticci...

Devo rendere in inglese il seguente concetto.

CONCORSO MISTO A PREMI
Concorso misto costituito da un’operazione a premi e da un concorso a premi.

Si tratta di un regolamento di un concorso indetto da una società americana che avverrà in Italia e chi quindi segue la legislazione Italiana in materia. Devo però spiegare la meccanica a legali statunitensi.

La legislazione italiana definisce misto questo tipo di concorso perché unisce due meccaniche diverse:

OPERAZIONE A PREMI: a fronte di un’azione (tipo l’acquisto di un prodotto) il cliente riceve un premio certo. Non c’è incertezza tutti coloro che acquistano il prodotto ricevono l’omaggio.


CONCORSO A PREMI: a fronte di un’azione (tipo l’acquisto di un prodotto) il cliente partecipa all’estrazione di un premio o riceve un gratta e vinci. In pratica è ammesso a partecipare alla possibilità di vincere. Non c’è certezza della vincita.

Grazie mille dell’aiuto,

Maria Luisa

Explanation:
I hope I'm not getting the wrong end of the stick here.
Italian legislation calls this kind of promotion a 'combination' because it includes two types of offer:
A free gift
A prize draw
That's my translation of what you're saying. Then again, I'm British, so American English may differ...

Maria Luisa,
Secondo me in Inglese, e' problematico descrivere i due aspetti del concorso in una sola parola (misto). Spero che ti sia d'aiuto, PC
