Tombola is a mini-game featured in several Dragon Quest games. Each play requires a Tombola ticket, which can be found in chests, as drops from enemies, or as gifts from regular customers to supported businesses. Tickets are often given by shop keepers in exchange for making multiple purchases. In all appearances, the grand prize has been a Loyalty card that reduces the cost of items purchases at shops.

Interestingly, after the defeat of Hargon, the Tombola owner in Moonahan gifts the Luminaries with a free Tombola ticket every time they talk to him. In addition, the Tombola in Leftwyne can still be played in the aftermath of the fell priest's ambitions. While there is no reason to earn the prizes given that all enemies are gone and all other shops are closed in celebration of the Luminaries' victory, the Tombola game can thus be played to the player's heart's content.
