The Halloween Jumbo lottery, with a grand prize of ¥500 million plus additional prizes, goes on sale. Over 300,000 tickets also offer a ¥10,000 prize!
On October 11, the "Halloween Jumbo Lottery" (728th National Autonomous Lottery) and "Halloween Jumbo Mini" went on sale nationwide. A commemorative event was held at the Nishi-Ginza Chance Center in Chuo Ward, Tokyo, known for being a high-win-rate sales location.
This jumbo lottery replaces the previous "Autumn Jumbo," featuring a first prize of 300 million yen, with first prize front/back prizes of 100 million yen each, totaling 500 million yen for first prize and front/back prizes combined. As a special prize, 300,000 tickets offer a 10,000 yen "Halloween Prize." The Jumbo Mini's first prize is 30 million yen, with first prize front/back prizes of 10 million yen each.
The combined number of high-value winning tickets (1 million yen or more) for both Jumbos is 270, an increase of approximately 1.5 times compared to last year's Autumn Jumbo.
At the start, "Goddess of Fortune" Momoko Yamada took the stage. She introduced the concept, "Get excited and thrilled! Make your dreams come true with the Halloween Jumbo!" explaining that the lottery ticket design and TV commercials would also be entirely Halloween-themed.
The five members of the idol group Momoiro Clover Z (MomoClo), who appear in the commercials, made a Halloween-themed appearance at the venue dressed as "Goddesses of Fortune." Member Momota Kanako commented, "Wearing this uniform really makes me feel like I have to behave properly."
In the "Samurai Cosplay" edition airing the same day, all members don samurai costumes complete with topknots and beards, mirroring the samurai portrayed by familiar Jumbo Lottery series CM star Koji Yakusho.
To commemorate the launch of this Jumbo lottery, they are running a "Happy Halloween Campaign." As part of this, a "Halloween Jumbo Lottery & Momoclo Special Live" (November 9th) will be held, with 500 pairs (1,000 people) selected by lottery. Shiori Tamai called out, "I think this is a chance for people who don't know us yet to come to the live show. I really hope lots of people apply."
When a 500 million yen dummy appeared on stage, the members were thrilled, exclaiming, "Wow!" and "It's too scary to get close!" When asked, "What would you do if you won the lottery?", they shared their dreams: "Hold a live concert on an amusement park-like property," "Take a trip around Europe with my family," "Buy houses in Japan and overseas," and "Go on a luxurious cruise trip."
