Each draw costs 850 yen including tax, and the lineup has nine prize ranks plus a Last Prize. The Special Prize is a roughly 21cm figure of Maruko's cluttered room from the chapter \"Today Is Home Visit Day\" in volume 10, down to her expression and the onomatopoeia behind her. The A Prize is a 10-type Figure Collection, roughly 5.5 to 8.7cm tall, with characters on pedestals bearing their dialogue. The Last Prize reproduces the cover of manga volume 1 as a figure about 17.5cm tall. Middle ranks include tote bags with title-page art, melamine cups and plates, rubber mascot keyholders, flat pouches, mini towels, a can collection, and sticker sets themed around Class 3-4.","whyItMatters":"The lineup draws almost entirely on specific manga panels and dialogue rather than general character art, which points to an anniversary product aimed at readers of the original run instead of casual merchandise buyers.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe draw is a no-loser format, so every ticket returns an item, and the count runs to nine ranks plus a final pull.

The B Prize tote bag measures about 40cm tall by 36cm wide in three designs.
