"The Japan Lottery - Japan JUMBO Draw - The RICHEST Asian Lottery"
Japanese lottery games can trace their history way back to the 1630’s but the modern Japan lottery games started in October 1945 when the government of Japan began to retail its lottery tickets or Takarakuji (宝くじ) translating to “fortune lottery” or “treasure lottery”.
All local Japanese governments were then permitted to run Takarakuji lotteries in 1946 and in 1954 they administered these Japanese Lottery games exclusively when the Japanese government relinquished control of Japan Lotto games.
All Japanese Lottery games are fully authorised by the Minister of Home Affairs along with the local assembly & the actual operation and administration of the lottery itself is handed over to a bank.
Various banks have operated Japanese lottery games since 1945 with the Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank recently being a major player and the current bank to be in control of Lottery Japan is Mizuho Bank.
There are 3 types of Japan Lotto games – jackpot lotto numbers games whereby you pick your own numbers, scratchcards and the more old fashioned raffle lottery style of game which uses tickets with pre-printed numbers & offers prizes that are pre-set.
The primary Japan Lotto games offered by the Japanese Lottery Association are the Loto 6, the Loto 7, Numbers 3, Numbers 4, Miniloto plus the Japan Loto that we shall be looking at in more detail here – the Richest Asian Lottery – the Japan Jumbo Draw.
The Japan Jumbo Draw is commonly known as The Richest Asian Lottery draw and rightly so as it can boast one of the biggest lottery prize pools out of any lotto games from across the world.
The huge and widely played Jumbo Lottery Japan takes place 4 times every year with thousands of prizes to be won by everyone players across Japan who take part.
As you will see, the prize pool for the Japan Jumb Draw can be as much as ¥ 75 BILLION & in previous years has been even higher.
Lottery tickets for the Jumbo Lottery are sold across the nation by the Mizuho Bank exclusively & for every draw, there are a limited and pre-determined number of Jumbo tickets that are put on sale.
As the Japan Jumbo Draw is so incredibly popular across Japan, the Jumbo Lottery normally sell out & once they are all sold, there will be no more available, meaning that generally, very few foreign players are ever given the opportunity to participate – until now..…
