*Translation of the original article start below*

I was invited to participate in a Mahjong event and the prize money was 5 million yen (Roughly 45,000.00 USD). 

But in cryptocurrency.

A cryptocurrecny from a certain beauty salon that can be used there will be listed in the stock exchange in the near future. 
The prize money will be the cryptocurrency before it hits the exchange. 

I was told that it is not impossible that this can make you a billionaire!?

But it is very doubtful (;^ω^)
Isn't this the same as a child handing out free shoulder massage passes? (;^ω^)
