  • It’s hard to translate line by line because if the nature of the language and how the lines are split up, but here goes.

    When someone asks me what the trick is to win a sweepstakes, I try to say, “be without greed.” A pile of postcards sits next to me

    From: mom

    懸賞(けんしょう) is a sweepstakes where participants send in postcards to try to get their names drawn to win a prize.

    Mom is saying she tries to act cool when someone asks what the secret to winning is by responding, “you can’t look desperate,” even though she has a pile of postcards with her name on it.

    Hope that clears it up!
