The second and final lottery for Japanese residents to buy tickets to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics will commence on Nov. 13, the organizing committee announced Friday.
Applications will be accepted from the morning until 11:59 a.m. on Nov. 26. The lottery results will be announced on Dec. 18 after which payments will need to be made by 11:59 p.m. on Jan. 10.
More than 3 million tickets were available during the first domestic lottery in May, while about 1 million will be available during this lottery phase. Organizers said more than 7.5 million people had registered a Tokyo 2020 ID for the first lottery—which is required to apply for tickets—and this number hasn't changed much heading into the second lottery.
