I am obsessed with entering competitions, and I’ve won quite a few by now (I got free tickets to the same music festival seven years in a row due to my dedication). I love hearing stories of what others win and how they use their winnings.

    I won a geolocation game from Rita’s and got a year of free Italian Ices. Every day during March they gave out a geolocation and you had a certain amount of time to find them to win. The first few days i missed the time limit. A couple times i was second. After a week or so i noticed a general pattern and started closer to the part of town i thought they would be. The day i won i was in the parking lot of the stadium where they were and watched them setting up. as soon as they sent out the geolocation i walked up and claimed my prize.

      How did the prize work? Could you just waltz up and get free ices whenever you wanted?

        They gave me a stack of free ice coupons (365)

            We are a family of 6, and I gave some away to friends and some unhoused people. My van leaked and the last 100 or so got wet and fused into a single coupon. I took it into the store and they took them all and gave me two 5 gallon buckets.

            Edit: it was two 2.5 gallon buckets, for a total of 5 gallons of ice.
