The "Summer Jumbo Lottery," with a combined first prize and adjacent prizes totaling 700 million yen, and the "Summer Jumbo Mini," with a combined first prize and adjacent prizes totaling 70 million yen, were simultaneously launched nationwide on July 9.
The "Jumbo" lottery offers attractive high prizes: a 500 million yen first prize and 100 million yen each for the first prize front and back prizes.

Lottery fans can now enjoy purchasing more than ever before.
On the same day, a launch event was held at the Nishi-Ginza Chance Center in Tokyo's Chuo Ward, known for its high-value wins. YU-KI and DJ KOO from the music unit TRF, who appear in the TV commercial, made an appearance wearing the same luxurious costumes featured in the ad.
This lottery's concept is "Summer Festival Fun with Friends," with the ticket design and various campaigns themed around a "summer festival." The duo's outfits reflected this theme. KOO, sporting a style reminiscent of a "god of fortune," commented with a smile, "I'm willing to use up all my own luck to bring good fortune to everyone."
As the two were talking about their "summer festival" memories, comedian Natsuko Yokozawa burst in, dressed in a yukata and wearing a mask of the lottery mascot, Koo-chan.
When asked why she came, Yokozawa declared, "I'm Natsuko! A child born in summer. And Jumbo. That means Summer Jumbo!" insisting her name and height fit the "Summer Jumbo" image. Prefacing with "This is a bold request...", she appealed directly to the two: "I absolutely love TRF, so I really want to become a member."
Her audition involved performing the "Summer Jumbo Bon Odori" dance to the CM song. Yokozawa held lottery tickets in both hands and gave her all in the dance. She later remarked, "It felt like it took forever," emphasizing she gave it her absolute best effort.
Yokozawa looked surprised at the unexpected result of passing, but upon hearing YU-KI's stipulation that "joining is only for today," she gave a wry smile. "Even so, my long-held dream has come true. I'll spend the rest of today as 'TRF's Yokozawa,'" she said with a smile.
The "Summer Jumbo" and "Jumbo Mini" tickets cost 300 yen each and are on sale until August 3rd. The drawing will be held on August 14th at NAKANO ZERO Grand Hall alongside a special TRF live performance.
