How to Play the Lottery in Persona 5 Royal
The Lottery Stand is found inPersona 5 Royal’s Shibuya district, just outside the Station Square subway station. The Stand offers three different ways to play, although they’re not all available at once.
The first and simplest Lottery is theScratch Lottery, which has the benefit of instantly revealing its results. Unfortunately, the Scratch Lottery isn’t very rewarding, with themaximum prize being ¥5,000 and the cost of a ticket being ¥200. Players canplay the Scratch Lottery every day, and the odds of coming away with a prize are fairly good.
Up next is theMammoth Lottery, which can be enteredonce a week for the cost of ¥3,000. Unlike the instant rewards of the Scratch Lottery, players must return at a later date to receive the result of the Mammoth Lottery.
Prizes for the Mammoth Lottery range from ¥100 to ¥100,000. Finally, there’s the Summer Mammoth Lottery, which can only be played during the month of June inPersona 5 Royal’s epic story. TheSummer Mammoth Lottery costs ¥5,000to enter but has a much higher chance of paying out its prizes of ¥30,000, ¥50,000, or ¥100,000.
How to Win the Lottery in Persona 5 Royal
While the Summer Mammoth Lottery is the best choice for players who are looking to win big inPersona 5 Royal, there may be a method that can be used to increase the odds of winning overall.
First, it’s worth noting that players won’t be able to save-scum their results by reloading on the day that they’re revealed. This is because the results of the Lottery are fixed when players buy their ticket, meaning they’d have to lose almost a week ofincreasingPersona 5 Royal’s social statsand fighting through Mementos to buy a new ticket and try again.
However, while it’s hard to know for sure, there is some evidence that the Luck stat of the player’s equipped Persona may change the odds. Luck is one of the most mysteriousstats inPersona 5 Royal, with several different uses that are never fully explained. Because of this, players may want to equip a high Luck Persona like Sandman before buying their weekly Lottery ticket.
Persona 5 Royalis available now on PS4. A PC, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Xbox Game Pass release is scheduled for August 06, 2025.
