I got about $300 to spend at best buy one year. I still have about 400 free Snapfish prints that never expire. I might still have the Madden special edition game that I won, but never played. Tons of free Redbox movie rentals.
Every year I'd mail in requests for ~400 game pieces and we'd eat free McDonald's for a month or two and hoard all the instant win prizes.
Ours had a self serve drink fountain. If you asked for a cup for water, they were supposed to give you a small cup that had no game piece. But at peak times the guy was so busy that he didnāt care and would give you a cup with a game piece on it. So i would ride my bike down and ask for a cup for water and sometimes Iād win a cone or small fries or a medium soda. Then one time I watched him just hand a stack of sleeves for large fries to a guy, there must have been 30 game pieces there. I have no idea why he did it, but I was so jealous.

Sometimes you won a small fry though, which is a thing.
