As part of a series of events commemorating the 25th anniversary of its arrival in Japan, Domino's Pizza Japan is set to hire one lucky person at the rate of 2,500,000 yen ($31,030) for an hour's worth of work in December.

The company's website said that anyone who wants the job will need to file an application. Those passing to the next stage will undergo an interview. "Basically it's anybody over 18, no questions about education or experience," the spokesman said.

"We're actually a little surprised by how much of a response it's getting." Hourly pay for part-time jobs in Japan averages just under 1,000 yen ($12.41). In another of the promotions, anyone born on Sept. 30 this year - the actual date the first Domino's opened in Japan — will receive a free pizza on their birthday until they turn 25.
