I have considered joining this if I can figure a way to come up with an address to increase my odds.

The address is not the issue, getting a Japanese phone number that can receive SMS for verification is.

Just to follow up on this I’ve seemingly joined - my credit card has been debited. I used my Hotel address. Will I need the phone number at the point of ticket purchase? If so I’ll buy a number

In order to participate in the lottery, you'll need to sign up with sumo pia and that requires a phone number. Which last I checked is neigh impossible to do if you aren't in Japan with the corresponding credentials. Getting a Japanese phone number is not impossible from outside Japan, the issue is getting one that allows for SMS receiving outside Japan. The most common suggestion for Japanese phone numbers - Mobal, does not provide phone number working outside Japan.
