Residents of Japan who didn’t win any Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games tickets during the first-round lottery in June will get a second chance to participate in another that begins Thursday.
Applications for this auxiliary lottery — unofficially referred to as “lottery 1.5” — will be accepted online starting from Thursday until 11:59 a.m. on Aug. 19. The results will be announced Sept. 11 and winners will be required to pay by the end of the day on Sept. 24.
