It is permissible to purchase items having advertisements of winning prizes. Furthermore, if the prize was won, it will also be permissible.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
