Kawasaki Premium Digital Voucher second sale: every applicant can buy, but those who asked for 9+ units get 8 or 9

Second-round purchase limits set by lottery

Kawasaki City decided by lottery on Tuesday, Oct 20, 2026 how many units each applicant can buy in the second sale of the Kawasaki Premium Digital Voucher (川崎市プレミアムデジタル商品券), which is used in the PayPay app.

Each unit costs ¥2,000 and gives you ¥2,600 of spending (a 30% premium). The ¥2,600 is made up of ¥1,600 usable at any participating shop and ¥1,000 usable only at small and medium-sized shops.

The second sale covered the 1,041,636 units left unsold after the first sale (which ended Jul 31). Applications were accepted from Monday, Aug 31 to Thursday, Sep 24, and 91,004 people applied for 1,613,461 units, or 154.9% of the units on sale.

Priority went to those who skipped the first round

Because applications exceeded the units on sale, the lottery gave priority to people who did not buy in the first sale.

Applicants	People	Units you can buy
Did not buy in the first sale	34,805	All requested
Bought in the first sale, applied for 1–8 units	2,588	All requested
Bought in the first sale, applied for 9+ units	53,611	53,086 get 8, 525 get 9

Results are emailed to every applicant on Tuesday, Oct 20.

Buy in PayPay by 11:59 p.m. on Dec 24

First, check your email for the number of units you can buy. From Tuesday, Oct 20, you can complete the purchase in the PayPay app and start using the vouchers.

• Purchase deadline: 11:59 p.m., Thursday, Dec 24, 2026
• Usage deadline: 11:59 p.m., Friday, Dec 25, 2026

The usage deadline is not extended because of the second sale, so it helps to plan to use everything before the end of the year. Vouchers can be used at shops in Kawasaki that accept PayPay (some shops are excluded).

Help booths at City Hall and ward offices

For second-sale applicants who are not used to smartphones, support booths will help with buying the vouchers at City Hall and each ward office. No reservation is needed. Every session runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
