From the New York Wire Service:
"In a recent deal with Matrixgames, Mr Hara Haramoto, the oldest surviving veteran Japanese soldier from WWII has agreed to be the "prize" of the winning entrant of the upcoming Matrixgames lottery, which will run soon after Thanksgiving in America.
The lottery will be open only to registered owners of the Matrixgames classic "WAR IN THE PACIFIC".
The lucky winner will be allowed to have Mr Haramoto live in their home for a full month!
In a recent interview, a Matrixgames spokesperson stated "The fact that Mr Haramoto does not speak any language but Japanese should present no real problems as food is the common language"!
Since the war, Mr Haramoto had been working as a Sumo wrestler, and at one point had gotten his weight up to 324 lbs, but since retirement, has not been able to afford as much food as he would like, (ergo his natural liking to the challenge put to him by Matrixgames.)
"It just seemed like a nice opportunity to see how the rest of the world lives, and eats!"(says Mr Harimoto.)[:'(]
