Hi Rodney, it is a advertising from a lottery company. The sheet in your Austria letter ist a result-list from the named lottery company. Peter -- No Gates - no Bill! Rodney, the first private commercial lottery were established by Benedetto Gentile in the 15th century.

I assume that the 6 yen covers cost of the card + some prizes, although I believe some companies donate prizes as a means of publicity.The card has a serial number on it. Next you write your Happy New Year message and mail me the postcard in mid to late December. The Japanese Post Office holds it and all are delivered on New Years Day. About Jan 15, the winning numbers are published and everyone checks their cards for a winner. Prizes are not money, but electronics, manufactured goods, stamps, etc. Sending New Year's postcards (nengajo) to relatives, friends, teachers, classmates, and co-workers is a very important custom in Japan. Nengajo should be delivered on January 1st. People are happy to receive and read those nengajo on New Year's Day. Japanese post offices accept New Year's cards from mid-December, and they deliver them on New Year's Day. It's a tradition for Japanese people to write New Year's cards during December. It's best to mail nengajo before Dec. 25th. Be sure to write 'nenga' under the stamp or use prepaid New Year's postcards issued by Japan Post Network so that postal workers can distinguish New Year cards from regular mail. Prepaid New Year's postcards with lottery numbers are the kind most commonly used by Japanese people. The lottery's winning numbers are picked in mid-January. The prizes aren't money but are various household goods, such as electronics, stamps, and so on. Those prepaid postcards are basically plain, so people print photos or images, draw pictures, and write messages on their own. Another important part of the etiquette is not to send a New Year's card to a family in mourning. You might receive postcards from people who are in mourning from mid. November, notifying you that they won't receive and send New Year's greeting cards that year. Blair |

Regular stamps and souvenir sheets are issued for the New Years holidays. It is the lottery postcards that have the semi postal stamp imprint. (ie postal stationery). Here is a sample (41 + 3 yen) New Years postcard. http://i13.ebayimg.com/06/i/001/2a/d6/6234_1.JPG The cards are listed in the Sakura catalogue. This one is NC78. Here is NC74. http://i5.ebayimg.com/06/i/001/2a/d6/63e4_1.JPG Blair |

John Evelyn's Diary has this little episode about lotteries, too:
To London to see the event of the lottery which his Majesty had permitted Sir Arthur Slingsby to set up for one day in the Banqueting House at White-hall. I gaining only a trifle, as well as did the King, Queene-consort and Queene-mother for neere 30 lotts; which was thought to be contrived very unhandsomely by the master of it, who was, in truth, a meer shark.
