The second ticket lottery for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics closed on Aug. 19 for an estimated 4.16 million residents of Japan who came up empty-handed in the initial draw.
The results are expected to be announced on Sept. 11 for an additional 700,000 or so tickets to first round or qualifying events at the games, with many applicants obviously set to be happy with the outcome. However, the Metropolitan Police Department is urging applicants to be wary of celebrating their success in the lottery too soon.
Fraudulent websites have emerged following the results of the first lottery, with authorities finding more than 100 webpages that have been designed to mimic the official 2020 Olympics homepage.
