Tickets for the annual year-end lottery went on sale across Japan on Tuesday.
200 million yen or more than 2 million dollars will be handed out to each of 70 grand prize winners.
At a ticket booth in Tokyo's Ginza shopping district, about 1,000 people had queued up by the time sales began at 8:30 AM.
The booth is very popular as it sold 3 tickets that hit the jackpot last year.
Some people had been in line since Friday.
A woman from Aomori Prefecture, northern Japan, said she had come to the popular booth on the overnight train and bought 500 tickets.
A man in his 20s says he bought 100 tickets and that if he wins a jackpot, he will save the prize money because of the current economic slowdown.
The drawing will be held on New Year's Eve.
