Daiei Hawks won the title of the Japanese Pacific League professional baseball series this year and will take on the winner of the Central League in the Japan Series in the weeks to come. To celebrate the win, Daiei department stores nationwide organized a special sale, starting Saturday. The biggest draw of the sale are so called “Lucky Bags,” bags containing undisclosed merchandise inside that are sold at fixed prices of ¥1,000, ¥3,000 and ¥5,000, but with actual value sometimes much more. Daiei officials said that the “Lucky Bags” sold out in 20 minutes with many people waiting outside the stores hours before opening.
