Nishi Ginza Chance Center, the so-called lottery sales floor, is probably the most famous lottery sales floor in Japan.
Even after the Heisei era, more than 500 people have purchased lotteries at the sales floor here and have received hundreds of millions.
At the end of the year jumbo in 2021, it seems that the dream of winning a total of 1 billion yen in the first prize was won.
In 2022, at the end of last year's jumbo, it seems that the total prize for the first prize was 850 million yen.
Events for the release of the jumbo lottery are mainly held in the square in front of this center.
I passed by early morning on the day of the release of jumbo, and I have seen the event setup.
We have been selling lotteries here since 1960.
The most popular at the window here is the number one window.
From around 1992, the first prize winner of this first window became a hot topic and was featured on TV programs.
Only the first window is supported by two salespersons.
About 30% of the people are lined up in front of this window.
In addition, it seems that the second popularity is the seventh window. Lucky Seven, right?
A billion narrow path

That's the answer.
The image "Billion Hosomichi", which was given a question mark at the end of the 7th series last time of this series, "Well, what is this?" It was a special set that followed the lottery counter at Nishi Ginza Chance Center.
In line with the release of the jumbo lottery, the "Billion Hosomichi" is set up here.
It is not set when it is not released jumbo.

In the case of jumbo release, the normal sales floor (the sales floor on the left: two previous images) will be used as a jumbo counter, and other things other than jumbo, such as "winning check", "buying Lot Numbers Bingo 5", "toto / BIG purchase", and "purchase goods", are handled at the sales floor counter on the right side of the Nishiginza Department (the image above).

Monument of Silver Love
I feel numb to the bottom of my heart
Because it's a whispering.
The tears came out unintentionally
I want to cry too
One in Tokyo
One in Ginza
Two young people met for the first time.
The story of true love
Hisao Otaka Lyrics
Composition by Kaburagi Sou
Monument of Silver Love
The song "The Story of Love in Ginza" composed by Hisao Otaka and Sou Kaburagi was a huge hit in 1961 duet by Yujiro Ishihara and Junko Makimura (Junko Makimura).
To convey this achievement to future generations, poetry monument was erected in Ginza in 1990 by the Ginza Dori Federation, Nishi Ginza Dorikai, and Teichiku.
Seats are set up on the left and right of the monument, so you can take a commemorative photo with the monument in between.
-From Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia - you can see by walking
In the third Chuo-ku sightseeing certification carried out in 2011, the following problems were issued.
"In Sukiyabashi Park in Ginza, there is a poetry monument of Ginza's Love Story, which was a huge hit by Yujiro Ishihara and Junko Makimura duet.
