SHIZUOKA -- A municipal bicycle racing track here mistakenly forked over more than 2 million yen (about $19,000) on a winning betting ticket worth one-tenth that, and the central Japan city is asking the recipient to return the difference.
According to a Jan. 8 announcement by the Shizuoka Municipal Government, an unidentified man collected the sum from Shizuoka Keirin velodrome in the city's Suruga Ward on Dec. 31 at shortly past 10 a.m. The man had made a winning off-track wager on a KEIRIN Grand Prix 2020 race held the day before at the Hiratsuka Keirin velodrome in Hiratsuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, south of Tokyo.
