"Valentine Jumbo Lottery" goes on sale! ELT and Okazu Club appear at the event
The "Valentine Jumbo Lottery," with a total jackpot prize of 300 million yen including first prize and adjacent prizes, and the "Valentine Jumbo Mini," with a total jackpot prize of 30 million yen including first prize and adjacent prizes, went on sale on January 31st. A commemorative launch event was held in front of the Nishi-Ginza Chance Center in Chuo Ward, Tokyo.
With a history of over 50 years and a reputation for producing many big winners, lottery fans dreaming of becoming millionaires lined up early in the morning at the sales location.
The Valentine Jumbo, renamed from last year's Green Jumbo, has approximately doubled the number of prizes of 100,000 yen or more and significantly increased the number of prizes by adding a 20,000 yen "Valentine Prize". Similarly, the Jumbo Mini has increased the number of prizes of 100,000 yen or more by about nine times and added a 20,000 yen "Valentine Mini Prize".
On a special stage in front of the sales area, Kaori Mochida and Ichiro Ito of the music unit Every Little Thing (ELT), who appear in the Valentine Jumbo TV commercial, held a talk show.
Mochida commented on co-starring with Koji Yakusho, who plays a samurai in the commercial, saying, "I've been watching him on TV for so long that I never dreamed I would be able to work with him. It was a very honorable experience." Ito, who appeared in a scene taking a photo with Yakusho and Mochida, looked back on the shoot, saying, "I was nervous taking the photo with Yakusho-san's samurai look up close. My hands were shaking with excitement."
Comedians Okarina and Yui P from the duo Okazu Club appeared as special guests, quickly changing from green capes into gorgeous gold and pink costumes to promote the renewal of the Green Jumbo lottery into the Valentine Jumbo lottery.
When Okazu Club expressed their wish to "give chocolate to Mr. Ito, whom they had admired for a long time, to convey their feelings," Mr. Ito shyly agreed. Okarina and Yui P then competed to see who could give the ideal gift.
The two handed over the chocolate with different scenarios: "Let's watch the moon together" and "Let's try the suspension bridge effect with bungee jumping." When Okarina, who won the contest, received a hug from Mr. Ito, Yui P expressed her frustration with her signature line, "So this is how you do Valentine's Jumbo!"
Next, Mochida-san also handed a gift to Ito-san. Seeing the two types of Jumbo lottery tickets included with the chocolate, Ito-san smiled and said, "Is it really okay for me to receive this? My expectations are growing!"
To commemorate the Valentine's Jumbo's new release, a campaign offering prizes like tickets to the "Drawing & ELT Special Live" (March 7) will be held exclusively at lottery ticket counters.
