Two covers that I received today from Canada. I had purchased two Lottery covers but the second one here is railway related. So, we have a Lottery ticket cover and a railway (viewing?) ticket cover. Mr Google translates as follows The 860th Lottery Todrake Fes, February 14 1978, ¥100 On the right: 860 Kanto/Chubu/Tohoku/30 groups/ ticket no.144810 Title: snowy night. The Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank, Ltd. Payment period: From February 19, 1980 to February 18, 1980. Shinkansen "Honjo Waseda Station" General admission tickets, 16. 3. 13 Honjo Waseda Station, Valid once on March 13th.You are not allowed to enter passenger cars. Valid within 2 hours from release time.

Interesting stuff!
I have never seen any lottery ticket or railway ticket being paired with a postage stamp and cancel.
The pictorial cancel on the railway ticket is not a usual fukei-in associated with a particular post office for a long period of time, but a kogata-in that is usually commemorative of certain event and available for a shorter duration. It commemorates the inauguration of Honjo Waseda Station of the Shinkansen.
