Unveiling the Excitement of the New Mega Big Lottery CM

On April 25, 2026, a new TV commercial titled "12 Billion Yen Guide: Street Interview" featuring actor Ryohei Suzuki is set to air nationwide. This engaging campaign aims to draw attention to the exciting Mega Big lottery, which, with a ticket price of only 300 yen, offers a staggering 1.2 billion yen as its top prize—the highest in the history of Japanese lotteries excluding public competitions. This initiative by the Japan Sports Promotion Center has already seen 37 lucky winners take home this incredible sum.

The commercial features Suzuki in the role of "Okuyama," the humorous guide on how to use a hypothetical 12 billion yen. The storyline revolves around Okuyama wandering a shopping district, where he stumbles upon several women participating in a street interview discussing what they would do with 12 billion yen. His curiosity piqued, Okuyama can't resist but to join the chat.

As he overhears the question, "What would you do if you had 12 billion yen?" he can't hold back and jumps into the conversation, charmingly asserting, "I would buy 400 million (400,000) tickets for Mega Big!" The lively dynamic and comedic flair of Okuyama as he interacts with the women emphasizes the enjoyable and engaging atmosphere of the Mega Big lottery, making for a memorable viewing experience.

Behind the Scenes of the Commercial Shooting

The commercial was filmed in a vibrant shopping district, capturing Suzuki’s playful energy as he tries to sneak into the shot behind the interviewed women. His antics, including mistaking "400 million tickets" for "40,000", added a delightful touch, eliciting laughter from the cast and crew between takes. After filming, the team surprised Suzuki with a birthday cake to celebrate his March birthday, creating a joyful closure to the shoot, with him gratefully thanking everyone as he left the set.

Insights from Ryohei Suzuki

In an exclusive interview, Suzuki shared his thoughts on the CM shoot, stating, "I had a blast! I was told to go for ad-libs, and I reflected the quirky characters one might find in Osaka, where we filmed. I think we captured that beautifully!"

He noted his realization about the character of Okuyama: "The deeper story of who he is became clearer. He walks through the shopping district, genuinely curious about what’s happening, especially when he hears '12 billion.' It’s a fun portrayal of our innate curiosity."

Suzuki also expressed enthusiasm for recent experiences, notably attending a concert by Mrs. GREEN APPLE, saying, "The excitement leading up to the show and the quality of the performance left me thrilled throughout. I enjoy immersing myself in new experiences."

As a globetrotter, Suzuki revealed his desire to visit India, a country he has always dreamed of exploring. He highlighted destinations such as the Ellora Caves and the Taj Mahal as must-see landmarks before his journey comes to an end.
