>I even contacted the Italian embassy in Germany before to apply for a fiscal code (codice fiscale), which you need in order to claim a large lottery win in Italy.
See, this part is the issue, you jinxed every chance you had by acting on it before anything was certain

I'd love to go to Mecca and Medina for sure.

To enter Mecca, you have to be a Muslim, so technically, I can't enter, but it's not like they can prove I am not one. I can offer to show them my circumcised dick if they need "proof."

Hajj is a completely different story because there is a lottery and quotas. If people want to bypass the lottery, there are tour companies that can take them for around 20.000 USD. This is why there is a thing called Umrah, which is doing the Hajj rituals outside the specific dates it has. And, as you can imagine, even if I go, I am not doing the rituals, I just wanna see the holy sites.

On 17 October 2023, Saudi Arabia added Turkey to e-visa program, so I'm happy. Mecca has a football team (Al Wehda FC) so that'd be a nice addition. Also, I wanna try the Haramain high-speed train that goes from Mecca to Medina and includes Jeddah as well. (When a relative of mine did Umrah, she landed in Jeddah)
