Jumbo Lottery: “Big Brother Jumbo – Roulette” Version (On Sale Now!) (30 seconds)
In Japan, Halloween is well known as an event where people can enjoy dressing up and cosplay.
In this lottery commercial, “Jumbo Big Bro: Roulette,” scenes of people enjoying Halloween are included to tie in with the Halloween Jumbo.
Satoshi Tsumabuki, the eldest brother, spins the roulette saying, “Let’s boost our luck with Halloween cosplay!” and Ryō Narita, the younger brother, lands the jackpot: “Halloween Jumbo Man.” He’s hyped up by everyone as cool, and amid rising expectations, Halloween Jumbo Man is called in… but for some reason, the brothers fall silent when they see him.
It’s one of those moments where the ideal and reality don’t match—things turned out different from what they imagined (lol).

Jumbo Lottery: 'Big Brother Jumbo — The Third Son’s Idea' Edition (On Sale Now!) (30 seconds)
This is the commercial “Jumbo Big Brother: The Third Son’s Idea” for the Halloween-season lottery, the Halloween Jumbo Lottery.
These days, lots of stores have point systems, so third son Yuma Yamoto pipes up that lotteries should do the same! He proposes to the family—using drawings on construction paper—that if you buy lottery tickets, you earn points, and then you can use those points to buy more tickets.
Everyone praises him, but the second daughter alone watches calmly and suddenly, in a slightly snippy tone, says, “That already exists, though.” And in the end, she even roasts the third son’s drawings… which, to be fair, are the kind that make you want to say something.
Halloween Jumbo Lottery: “Big Bro Jumbo – Talking in His Sleep” VersionSatoshi Tsumabuki, Riho Yoshioka, Ryo Narita, Yuma Yamoto
Jumbo Lottery “Big Brother Jumbo: Sleep-Talking” Version (On Sale!) (15 seconds)
Have you ever imagined what you’d do if you won the lottery? In the Halloween Jumbo Lottery commercial “Jumbo Big Bro: Sleep Talk,” the usual siblings, led by Jumbo Big Bro, imagine “What if we won 500 million yen in the Halloween Jumbo Lottery?” while talking in their sleep.
Only the youngest sister, Mio Imada, is awake, listening as each sibling voices their dreams.
Jumbo Big Bro says, “We’ll split it evenly among everyone,” and the sister is impressed—“That’s so like big brother.” But then he adds, “Just kidding!” for the punchline, and the awake sister snaps back at her sleeping brother.
Halloween Jumbo Lottery: ‘Big Bro Jumbo Announces How to Buy’ EditionSatoshi Tsumabuki, Riho Yoshioka, Ryo Narita, Yuma Yamoto
Jumbo Lottery: 'Big Bro Jumbo — How to Buy Announced' Version (On Sale Now!) (30 seconds)
This is the series commercial for Jumbo Lottery titled “Halloween Jumbo Lottery: Big Bro’s Buying Method Announcement,” featuring Satoshi Tsumabuki, now well-known as “Jumbo Big Bro.” As always, the siblings are super high-energy, each excitedly declaring their favorite way to buy tickets.
But when Mio Imada says, “Triple-bara, one set,” the mood suddenly shifts, and everyone starts clamoring that the “legendary Jumbo Master” has appeared.
In reality, there was no such intention—Mio Imada, the ever-calm younger sister, was just being her usual composed self.
Valentine Jumbo Lottery: “Big Bro Jumbo — Practice Giving It” versionSatoshi Tsumabuki, Riho Yoshioka, Ryo Narita, Yuma Yamoto
Jumbo Lottery “Big Bro Jumbo: Practice Handing It Over” Version (On Sale Now!) (30 seconds)
This is the always comical and fun lottery commercial, the “Valentine Jumbo Lottery: Big Bro Practices Handing It Over” edition.
The second daughter, Mio Imada, is practicing a scenario where she gives a Valentine Jumbo Lottery ticket to a male mannequin, when the eldest son, Satoshi Tsumabuki, calls cut.
Just then, the eldest daughter, Riho Yoshioka, comes home and, saying “Think I can do it?”, decides to give it a try.
But the moment she starts, her whole demeanor shifts, exuding the aura of a true actress.
The siblings are left dumbfounded by her transformation—and the commercial perfectly conveys that feeling.
This is a lottery commercial with a 70s-inspired vibe titled “Loto 6 Disco Rock.” On a retro stage, three performers—Goro Inagaki, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, and Shingo Katori—appear in period costumes, with Inagaki taking the center vocal role.
The ad pointedly pronounces Loto 6 not as “Loto Six” but as “Loto Rock,” and, in keeping with the lottery’s number-picking concept, most of the lyrics are made up of numbers like a kind of wordplay.
Some parts might seem a bit nonsensical, but it’s catchy and has that addictive quality that makes you want to watch it over and over.
This is the Lotto 6 commercial “Vintage Clothing Edition,” starring Tsuyoshi Kusanagi and Mone Kamishiraishi.
Kusanagi appears to be the owner of a vintage clothing shop, and Kamishiraishi shows up as a customer.
When Kamishiraishi tries to ask the price of a piece she’s interested in, he replies, “That’s my personal item.” She points to something else and asks about that, but those are all the owner’s personal items too.
The pieces with price tags are, as you’d expect, actually for sale—priced at 1,129 yen, a pun on “ii fuku” (good clothes) with tax included.
Pretty cheap, right? Kusanagi really does like vintage clothing, and his laid-back, offhand responses make the commercial feel like you’re seeing the real Kusanagi.
