Many shopping street is crowded lively at winter solstice.

The Demachi-yanagi shopping street located in the center of Kyoto is known as an old shopping street in Kyoto.
This shopping street was called "Masugata (means "Shape like a Measure Cup") shopping street" in old times.

It's necessary for the "FUKUBIKI lottery" end of the year.
When people shop there, the lot assistance ticket can be gotten.
And when people collect 10 tickets, it's possible to rotate "lottery wheel" once.
This shopping street provide for various prizes. Some people already hit the lot.

We usually call it "GARA-GARA" (this is named for the rattling sound when rotating.), but is there that kind of lottery machene in other countries?
