The "Halloween Jumbo Lottery" offers a top prize of 500 million yen (including front and back prizes), while the "Halloween Jumbo Mini" offers a top prize of 30 million yen (including front and back prizes), both featuring attractive high-value prizes. Furthermore, the total number of winning tickets worth 100,000 yen or more is set at 34,480 across both the "Halloween Jumbo Lottery" and "Halloween Jumbo Mini," offering many chances to win.
Sales run until October 18. The drawing will be held on October 30 at the Miyazaki Civic Cultural Hall.
Ms. Hinako Iihon, the lottery's "Goddess of Fortune," introduced the "Group Purchase" and "Gift Purchase" services launched on the "Official Lottery Website" this May.
She encouraged people to try these new services, saying, "Group Purchase lets members form groups to buy tickets together, while Gift Purchase allows members to present lottery tickets they've bought to others via email or other means. Please try these new services to enjoy the lottery even more."
She also highlighted the introduction of "Lottery Points" at sales outlets, where members earn 1 point for every 100 yen spent on lottery tickets. "Accumulated points can be used to purchase lottery tickets at a rate of 100 points (100 yen) per point, allowing you to buy tickets at a discount," she emphasized.
Comedy duo Maple Chogokin's Natsu Ando and Kazureza, along with talent Nao Asahi, appeared at the event in Halloween costumes.
Asahi shared, "Since high school, I've enjoyed Halloween parties dressed as a maid or nurse. The fun of Halloween is becoming someone different from your usual self." Ando and Kazureza reflected on their youth, saying, "When we were young, Halloween wasn't as big as it is now," and "October was just for sports days," revealing they had little connection to Halloween back then.
When asked about "costumes she'd enjoy wearing if she won 500 million yen," Asahi replied, "I want to be unrecognizable even when walking around privately. I'd love to get special makeup to look like Keiko Kitagawa and hear people scream 'Eek!'" Kazureza, who always wears red for both work and casual outfits, prefaced his answer with "Since it's a special occasion, I'd wear something different," then drew laughter by saying, "A solid navy blue suit. I wouldn't have the courage to wear it normally."
Regarding group purchases, Asahi immediately replied, "I definitely want to buy with the two members of Maple Chogokin." Kazureza also agreed, saying, "I'd like to try it. You need to know each other well enough and be discreet. Buying together is a good idea."
In the segment to experience "the weight of 500 million yen," they had to lift a jack-o'-lantern, a Halloween symbol of nearly the same weight. Kaz Laser was the only one who succeeded. Looking surprised, he commented, "I'd rather have the money than the weight."
The trio shared messages: "Make your big win dreams come true with this thrilling Halloween Jumbo," "Wishing for a big win is great, but giving it as a gift to bring someone happiness is also wonderful," and "Buy it casually, like buying a dream. I'd definitely want to be friends with whoever gets their hands on 500 million yen."
