Public-run lottery tickets in Japan will soon be sold online amid slumping sales, according to the country’s internal affairs ministry.

Japan Times reported that the popular Jumbo Takarakuji series, which offers a JPY1 billion ($9.19 million) jackpot, Takarakuji tickets, and the Numbers and Loto series may be purchased online starting October.

A ministry official pointed making lottery tickets available online is the government’s way to boost lottery sales. Data showed that lottery ticket sales in Japan started dropping after it peaked to JPY1.1 trillion ($9.19 billion) in fiscal 2005. Ticket sales in fiscal 2016 was at JPY845 billion ($7.77 billion).

The ministry recognized that the limited operations of lottery outlets near train stations, where 93 percent of Japan lottery tickets are sold, contributes to lesser sales. By making lottery available online, the ministry said that people may now buy tickets whenever they want.
