Dreaming of 700 Million Yen at the "Dream Jumbo Cafe"

To commemorate the May 10th launch of the "Dream Jumbo Lottery" and "Dream Jumbo Mini 100 Million Yen," the "Dream 700 Million Yen ~ Dream Jumbo Cafe ~" opened for a limited time from May 17th to 21st at G735 Gallery in Chuo Ward, Tokyo.

The cafe was designed as a space to view ultra-luxury items that could be purchased with the 700 million yen grand prize (including first prize and adjacent prizes) from the Dream Jumbo Lottery. Featuring a Stradivarius violin, jewelry, luxury sports cars, and watches, it allows visitors to tangibly experience the dream of winning the Jumbo Lottery.

A PR event was held the day before opening, where the cafe was unveiled to the press.

Appearing on the venue's red carpet was Haruka Shimazaki, former AKB48 member and the cafe's commercial character, adorned with jewelry valued at 700 million yen. Flanking her were fully equipped security guards. When they removed their helmets and sunglasses, wrestler Saori Yoshida appeared.

Shimazaki, looking nervous, said, "It's an honor to touch accessories I'll probably never have in my lifetime." When the items displayed in the cafe were introduced, Yoshida immediately replied, "I want to buy a deserted island!" Shimazaki, who loves musical instruments, fixed her gaze on a high-end Austrian piano, saying, "I'm interested in the piano."

Violinist Emiri Miyamoto took the stage with her Stradivarius and performed "Meditation from Thaïs." Miyamoto praised the Stradivarius, saying, "It's an instrument musicians dream of. Its characteristic is a deep tone honed over its long history; the rich, powerful sound is truly impressive." Shimazaki described it as "a feeling like time had stopped," while Yoshida called it "a luxurious moment."

When asked what they would do if they won 700 million yen, Shimazaki said, "I think I'd freeze for a moment, but first I'd tell my family. Then I'd want to do something to show my gratitude to my parents." Yoshida shared his dream: "I'd buy an island and build a facility where I could practice wrestling and have fun."

The cafe offers Italian mineral water and a set of wasanbon sugar shaped like "Kuu-chan," the lottery mascot.
