[Tokyograph News]

In July, TV Asahi is starting a new drama series titled "Loto 6 de 3 Oku 2 Senmanen Ateta Otoko," which tells the story of a man whose life completely changes when he unexpectedly wins 320 million yen in a lottery. The show is based on the true story of a lottery winner, which started out as a blog and was later turned into a book.

Takashi Sorimachi stars as Satoru Tachibana, an advertising firm employee slaving away under a younger boss for a meager salary. With a pachinko habit, no savings, and no prospects of romance since his divorce, Tachibana is left wondering what the future holds for him.

One day, he desperately enters a lottery, trying to make enough money to pay for his child support, but his sense of self-disgust kicks in. However, his curiosity gets the better of him, and he later discovers that the ticket is a winner, turning him into a millionaire overnight.

TV Asahi will broadcast the series on Friday nights at 9:00pm.
