Lottery To Strengthen Internet Sales Aiming for Sales Recovery January 3 12:14

In order to recover lottery sales, Internet sales are expected to be strengthened after April.

Lottery sales have peaked in 2005 and are on a declining trend.

The service that returns points that can be used for purchases was initially limited to those who bought on the Internet, but it was also expanded to purchases at sales counters last year.

Currently, points are redeemed for 1 yen per purchase of 100 yen, but the council and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications made by the municipal government of the release plan will strengthen Internet sales after April.

Specifically, the idea is to consider a way to get 1,000 yen points for those who bought over 6,000 yen for those who bought on the Internet and the first million people on a first-come-first-serve basis.

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, "Some of the proceeds from sales will go to local governments, so we would like to encourage young people to be interested in the lottery, which should help us recover sales."
