1. Definition
“Bundle Purchase” refers to a pre-packaged set of lottery tickets that includes specific combinations of number sequences. In Japan, it is most commonly used with Jumbo Lotteries, offering variations like grouped sequential numbers and random numbers (bara) in a single purchase set.
2. Background and Mechanism
Traditionally, players choose between two formats: sequential numbers or randomized numbers (bara). To offer the benefits of both, official sellers began offering bundle purchases that package multiple formats into a single, convenient set.
Examples include:
- “3-Ren Bara”: Three sets of 10 sequential tickets, shuffled to simulate randomness but still include all terminal digits 0–9
- “Fuku-Ren 100”: 100 tickets, each in a different group but with sequential numbering
- “Fuku-Bara 100”: Fully randomized combinations of group and number
These bundles are available online and at retail locations, especially during major lottery campaigns.
3. Examples and Usage
- During a Jumbo Lottery event, customers can ask for a “3-Ren Bara” set of 30 tickets at a booth
- Online platforms offer dedicated pages to select and buy ticket bundles with one click
- Bundle purchases are ideal for those wanting a wide range of numbers and groupings in one transaction
4. Differences from Related Terms
- Renban (Sequential): 10 consecutive numbers ending in 0–9
- Bara (Random): Tickets from different groups and number ranges
- Bundle Purchase: Combines features of both formats in curated sets, often in 30–100 ticket units
5. Tips and Considerations
- Pricing is fixed based on number of tickets (e.g., ¥300 × 30 = ¥9,000)
- While odds don’t change, you gain broader number and group coverage
- Numbers in bundles are pre-determined and cannot be customized
- Some promotional events offer exclusive drawings or bonuses for bundle buyers
