Exciting New Lottery 'WINNER' Launches for J-League Fans Ahead of Season Kickoff

The Japan Sports Promotion Center (JSC) is thrilled to announce the launch of the 'WINNER' lottery, just in time for the opening of the Meiji Yasuda J.League 100-Year Concept League. Starting from January 26th, fans will have the chance to predict the outcomes of matches throughout this exciting league season, which runs from February 6th to June 7th.

The 'WINNER' lottery will offer predictions for all matches in both the Meiji Yasuda J1 and J2/J3 100-Year Concept Leagues, highlighting the importance of fan engagement in the world of sports. Moreover, a special contest will allow participants to suggest which team will emerge victorious in the J1 league, adding more depth to the excitement for supporters.

Lottery Details

The 'WINNER' lottery comes with specific parameters:

- One Match Predictions: This category allows players to predict the outcome of selected J-League matches.
- Contest Predictions: Participants can predict the champion team for the J1 league. However, predictions for the J2 and J3 league champions will not be available, which is something to take note of when entering.
- Sales Locations & Payment Methods: It's essential to keep in mind that the deadline for purchasing these tickets might differ based on the sales locations and the methods of payment.

Take full advantage of the upcoming season by trying your luck with 'WINNER'! With every lottery ticket purchased, fans also contribute to the enhancement of sports across the nation, as a portion of the earnings supports growth and development within the sports community.

Supporting Sports with Every Purchase

A significant initiative linked to the 'WINNER' lottery is its commitment to bolstering sport in Japan. A slice of the revenue generated from ticket sales will be allocated to grants aimed at promoting sports, benefiting J-League and B.LEAGUE clubs alike. These funds are used for vital infrastructure improvements, enhancing player environments, and fostering overall club advancement.

In the continued spirit of sportsmanship, the JSC stresses the importance of responsible participation, especially reminding individuals under 19 that purchasing or transferring tickets is legally prohibited.

Exciting B.LEAGUE Updates

In tandem with the J.League, the 'WINNER' lottery is also available for the B.LEAGUE, which is currently in the midst of its 2025-26 season. Fans are encouraged to engage in this exciting opportunity and make predictions on their favorite basketball teams as well.

International Betting Options

For the soccer enthusiasts interested in international matches, the 'toto' and 'BIG' lotteries are available. Participants can predict outcomes for sets of games through both complex and casual formats, accommodating all fan preferences. The 'toto' allows predictions for 13 matches, while the 'mini toto' simplifies things with just five games. The 'BIG' lottery offers a chance for significant wins without needing predictions.

Details on the sales schedule, designated matches, and other specifics can be found on the official sports lottery website: toto-dream.

The Role of Sports Lotteries

The vital contributions from sports lotteries date back to 2002, with considerable amounts being allocated for developmental assistance in the sports sector. Approximately 288.4 billion yen has been distributed to enhance sports facilities, facilitate community sports events, and nurture future athletic champions.

As the JSC continues to innovate and adapt its ticket offerings, its overarching goal remains clear: to elevate sports enjoyment across Japan while significantly contributing to the growth of the sports ecosystem. Let's keep supporting our teams through every ticket we purchase and every game we cheer on!
