This year, my husband and I did not win any prizes for the Otoshidama-Tsuki Nenga Hagaki (お年玉付き年賀はがき). However, my in-laws did. They generously let me have all the fun by designating me to check their big stack (about 5 cm thick) of Japanese New Year cards against the latest nengajo lottery results. Like the previous years, they got the consolation prize (4th prize), which is two sets of 2-piece New Year stamps! Hee hee, it is wonderful for me because I can continue my little tradition of blogging about the Nengajo draw results annually! Haha ^_^Y
Results from Asahi Shinbun (2012/01/23) & close-up of the two winning nengajo.
