LOTO 6 ¥ 600,000,000 LOTO 7 ¥ 600,000,000
The roots of Japan Lottery games can be traced as far back in time as 1945 when the Japanese government first introduced a lottery – known locally in Japanese as Takarakuji – or 宝くじ.
The idea behind the introduction of Japanese Lottery games was to help the population by raising money for worthwhile charitable causes plus governmental organisations.
Throughout the decades these Japan Lotto games have taken different forms such as number lotteries and lottery raffles and have even incorporated prizes such as essential items, travelling and motor cars as opposed to the more common prize of money.
Nowadays, the principal Japanese Lottery games are organised by the Mizuho Bank which is authorised by the government of Japan to run & operate the most prominent of these Japan Loto games.
Many lottery players right throughout Asia will no doubt be aware that there are lots of Japan Lotto games – Takarakuji – that are played all across Japan every week.
Some of these are weekly Japan Lottery games such as the popular Loto 6 , Loto 7 and the Mini Loto – while others are periodic megadraws such as the massive and incredibly popular Japan JUMBO Draw which is played roughly every 2 months and is well known as the Richest Asia Lottery.

DAILY Japan Lotto Games
Numbers 4 – Takarakuji – Japan Lottery
The Japan Lotto – Numbers 4 – is yet another highly popular game which will give you better odds of winning but has smaller prizes to be won than the Japan Lottery jackpot games.
Playing Numbers 4 you will first need to select your own 4 digit number which is followed by the application method that you wish to play with which can be just one of either 'straight', 'box' or 'set'.
The Japan Loto will draw a 4 digit number and you can win prizes in numerous ways. If you have chosen to play using the 'straight' method, your 4 digit number must match the 4 digit number drawn in exactly the same sequence of the 4 numbers that were drawn.
If you play Numbers 4 using the 'box' method, your 4 digit number can match the 4 winning numbers in any order they were drawn.
If playing using the 'set' method your 4 digit number can match the winning number with 2 of the numbers in the same sequence as those drawn and the other 2 drawn in any order they were drawn.
The top prize on the Numbers 4 is approximately ¥ 1 MILLION and the drawing is conducted daily from Monday to Friday at 6.45pm.
Numbers 3 – Takarakuji – Japan Lottery
Numbers 3 from the Japanese Lottery works in the same way as the Numbers 4 game and is also a very popular lotto.

This time a 3 digit number is drawn so you only need to choose 3 numbers plus the method of playing, 'straight', 'box', 'set' or 'mini'.
The additional method here is 'mini' which means you can match just the final 2 digits in the same order in which they were drawn.
The Numbers 3 top prize is approximately ¥ 100,000 and the draw is also made each day from Monday through to Friday at 6.45pm.
