Merry Christmas!!

It was very fine today.

Do you have a nice Christmas?  I hope so.

It is a season of fukubiki (福引), literally means fortune drawing, year end lottery.  Depends on the place cost is different, but every yen 5,000 or yen 3,000 shopping you get a ticket to try lottery.  Since I have some tickets to draw, I went to the place to try.  The best prize was yen 100,000 travel coupon.  But I only got the last prize, pocket tissues.....

There are big chances for you to be a millionaire this year if you buy the year-end jumbo lottery (年末ジャンボ宝くじ　nenmatsu janbo takara kuji), which were sold from today.
One lottery costs yen 300. The first prize is yen 200,000,000 for 74 pieces. And the second prize is yen 100,000,000 for 370 pieces. In total 444 millionaires will be born at the end of this year.
As a year-end special lucky prize there are 74,000 pieces for yen 30,000.
They say there were 1,000 people waiting before they were sold at the ticket booth in Tokyo where millionaires were born in two years straight for the last year and the year before last.
Would you like to try?
