Apple Japan Announces 2015 'Lucky Bag' Promotion to Start January 2During the New Year in Japan, many retailers often offer a
Fukubukuro, also known as a "mystery bag" or "lucky bag", which is a grab bag filled with an assortment of products usually sold at a steep discount. Apple Japan has once again
announced that it'll take part in the promotion, which begins January 2 in Apple Retail Stores across Japan.

Last year, Apple's Lucky Bags
sold for 36,000 yen, or $345, and
usually contained items like iPods, headphones and t-shirts. Purchasers of the Lucky Bags don't know what's inside the bag, and cannot get a refund unless a product is defective. Some fortunate customers have received
big-ticket items like iPads and MacBook Airs in their Lucky Bags, which is part of why Lucky Bags have become so popular in Japan.
As with past years, Apple's Lucky Bag promotion is limited to Japanese customers. The company has not yet announced pricing for this year's Lucky Bag promotion, but it's likely to be in line with previous years' pricing.
