Scratch and Win
A couple of months ago one of our regular eateries was having a promotional contest. Each time you came in to eat the manager would give you a sealed game card that you could bring in on your next visit to reveal your prize. If you opened and/or scratched off the prize before your next visit, the prize was automatically voided. The prize could be anything from a percentage discount on your meal, a trip package or a significant monetary award. Since we visited that restaurant on a regular basis, we got quite a few game cards. Each time we would come back and I would eagerly await as the manager scratched off our award, hoping we would when something good. However, the best we did it was 20% off our meal. I was hoping for something like one of those Orlando vacation packages or $25,000. I wouldn’t mind going to Orlando since it’s been probably 30 years since I’ve been there. I also wouldn’t mind winning $25,000. I could definitely have a good time with that.
