Reservation Lottery for ONE PIECE Trading Card: Distinct Odds Across Stores

Trekato, operated by TCG Pro Co., Ltd., recently revealed fascinating insights on the reservation lottery for the ONE PIECE trading card game booster pack titled 'The World's Strongest Warrior' (OP-17). This analysis, based on the reports of 360 applicants, highlights the varied lottery odds among different retailers.

As of August 15, 2026, the overall winning rate stands at 36%. This implies that about two-thirds of the applicants have faced disappointment in their bids for the coveted cards. Among the participating stores, Premium Bandai emerged with the highest winning rate of 48%, contrasting sharply with Dragon Star Online, which recorded a mere 8%. This striking six-fold difference raises questions about the influences behind these variations.

Key Findings from the Survey

1. Overall Winning Rate: The general winning rate is 36%, indicating that approximately 66% of applicants were not successful.
2. Store-Specific Odds: Winning odds vary significantly from 8% at the lowest to 48% at the highest, showcasing a stark contrast between Premium Bandai and Dragon Star Online.
3. Lack of Reports: Some stores did not report any winning entries, emphasizing the importance of choice in selecting where to apply for lotteries.

This comprehensive study reveals that the odds of winning can fluctuate dramatically based on the chosen store. The overall winning rate of 36% encompasses all 360 applicants without store preference.

The Factors Behind the Differences

While Trekato refrains from pinpointing exact causes for these disparities, it is assumed that Premium Bandai, with its extensive online lottery, offers a larger pool of available cards, contributing to its higher success rate. Conversely, specialty stores or character shops tend to operate with limited stock, thereby reducing their odds of awarding a win.

However, it’s crucial not to generalize the notion that applying to manufacturer direct sales guarantees better odds. A previous survey from August 10, 2026, on the Pokémon card 'Storm Emerald' found a high winning rate of 58.9% at electronics retail outlets, while convenience store online lotteries plummeted to 16.3%. Hence, the best venues vary depending on the product.

Implications of the Findings

From both this and previous data, it is evident that even for the same product, the odds can vary drastically based on the store through which applications are submitted. Moreover, it is challenging to predict which store might yield better results on any given occasion. Applicants are encouraged to review actual result data to determine their preferred store for each lottery, ultimately offering a strategy to obtain sought-after cards at retail prices.
