As with similar cards from other years, these 4″ x 7-1/4″ postcards have individual numbers for the annual lucky draw.  Your chances of winning more than a set of chopsticks are remote, but if you want to try your luck, we have a few of these, unused, and you will also have instructions on how to claim your prize — if you win, and if the time to claim hasn’t expired.   We show the front and back of a single card.  Good luck!  祝好運!  Grades: 1
