Have you won the New Year lottery?
AdvertisementNOTE: The results of the 2008 New Year Postcard lottery are now available.
If you haven’t thrown away all your New Year postcards from this year, dig them out and check the serial number on the bottom right of the cards.
If the six digits are 157788 or 457190, then you’ve won top prize, and can choose from a holiday in Hawai’i, a holiday within Japan, notebook personal computer, DVD recorder and home theatre kit, or a digital SLR camera.
If the last four digits are 5161, 7093, 7485, or 9614, then you’ve won second prize, a choice of local delicacies.
If the last two digits are either 64 or 79, you’ve won the third prize, two inoshishi (wild boar)-themed stamps, which can be picked up by presenting your winning postcards at any post office.
I seem to have won nothing.
