Animal Crossing New Horizons Ichiban Kuji

One again, the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Ichiban Kuji lottery has been delayed. Bandai Spirits has made this decision due to the situation surrounding COVID-19. This special lottery was originally scheduled for a Spring 2020 date and was later re-scheduled to begin on May 16 2020, but has since faced numerous setbacks. The new date for the lottery is August 15, 2020, as announced via Bandai Spirits’ official website. [Thanks, GAME Watch!]

The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Ichiban Kuji lottery features special New Horizons themed items. These include a rug, a cooler bag, clear water bottle, stackable mug, clear slider pouch, printed towel, a Timmy and Tommy themed tissue case, and a mini-table. Pictures of these exclusive items have yet to be released.

In order to participate in this lottery fans will need to go to Seven-Eleven convenience stores, Ito Yokado supermarkets, and Nintendo Tokyo, to buy special lottery tickets. As one can easily assume, this is a Japan exclusive event. Tickets will cost ¥650 (or roughly $6) per draw.

Bandai Spirits once against extends their apologies regarding the delays, and will continue to update fans through the Ichiban Kuji Club and the official Ichiban Kuji Twitter account.
