What is Lottery System?

Back in Animal Crossing original, players could enjoy playing the Lottery, which is an event that happens on the last day of each month. In order to play, they had to visit the Nook’s Shop and must have five tickets of the current month, but tickets from the previous year can still be used in the same month.

Furthermore, users could also notice that Tom Nook won’t buy or sell anything on a Lottery day. If they win the lottery, they would receive some exciting items from Tom Nook.
