How To Win A (Small) Prize

While I was having supper yesterday, the door bell rang.  I got a parcel from a confectioner. The firm held a "candy campaign" last month. 

Inside were a lot of candy (ten bags!) and a canvas bag made by "Ichizawa Shinzaburo Hanpu" in Kyoto.
Today I brought one bag of candy to my office.  Some co-workers asked me how to get a prize.  They are quite interested in getting prizes in campaigns and have entered many canpaigns, but they've never won.

I don't have any special tips for getting prizes but I have a few rules; before I enter a campaign I always ask if  I really want this present.  If not, I don't enter it.  When I get a prize luckily, I let my family and friends receive a share of the things I get.

 I believe that things (not only money) are great traveler in the world.
