Japanese Lottery – Japan JUMBO Draw "The Japanese Lottery - Japan JUMBO Draw - The RICHEST Asian Lottery"
Japan Lottery 
Japan lottery games can trace their history way back to the 1630’s but the modern Japan lottery games began in October 1945 when the national Japanese Government started selling lottery tickets under the name Takarakuji (宝くじ) which means “fortune lottery” or “treasure lottery”. Local Japanese Governments were then permitted to run Takarakuji lotteries in 1946 and in 1954 they administered Japanese lotteries exclusively when the Japanese National Government relinquished control of Japanese lottery games. All Japan Lottery games are fully approved by the Minister of Home Affairs along with the local assembly and the actual operation 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 more recently being the major player. Generally, Japanese lotteries are comprised of traditional or conventional style lottery games, with lottery tickets either having pre-printed numbers on them or lottery tickets where players are able to choose their own lottery numbers. The biggest lottery in Japan and, indeed, the whole of Asia is the Japan Jumbo Draw and we are going to take a more detailed look at that here…
