How Ichiban Kuji works

Ichiban Kuji is a lottery sold in Japanese convenience stores, bookshops and hobby shops. Each ticket wins one prize, from the big A Prize figures down to smaller goods, and whoever buys the last ticket also wins the Last One Prize. Online kuji works the same way, with draws done digitally and prizes shipped afterwards. At Otaku Daily, we buy kuji draws in Japan on your behalf and send your prizes to the UK, so you can take part without being there.
