Oh, man! I thought that a fellow New Yorker had devised a game plan to keep me busy and entertained while riding public transportation. With the exception of the mariachi band on the 1 train, I guess it's back to watching other passengers read, sleep, eat, grope me each other, push,shove, commit petty theft,and tend to their personal grooming. Just so you know, there is no such thing as a toenail cutting emergency. Leave the clippers at home people!

Take the whole bag of real Scrabble letters into the store and scatter them all over the counter and yell "Give me my prizes bitch"!

Video tape it and post is as a prank.....I will give maximum clickies for that.

"The lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math" - some famous person.

Check the odds, and compare them to a your chances of being in a plane crash, or getting struck by lightning. Let me know if you're still surprised.

I accept.

Apologies for the lack of profanity, but I go there regularly, and I'm rather keen on remaining poison-free.

A word about video quality: my aim sucks, apparently, as you don't get to see much of the tiles over the reflection of the fluorescents. But you can hear them. Also the sound quality is poor and yes, I have a horrible cold.

It begins right after the Sandwich Artist has put extra mayo on my chicken teriyaki sandwich despite my protestations. After all, what's more teriyaki than mayonnaise?

The video.

I somehow learned that in contests such as this, the key pieces that are needed to win the big prizes are specifically sent to a certain area rather than scattered everywhere. For example, say they only make 5 or 10 "N" game pieces and 5 or 10 "S" pieces. Most likely, the "N" pieces would be sent somewhere on the west coast, and the "S" pieces would purposely be sent somewhere on the east coast. This almost ensures that while the contest could be won, it's unlikely that one person would find both pieces. This boosts sales from idiots consumers like you, while not costing the much unless one person happens to visit the exact right stores. They do have a record of what part of the country the rare game pieces are distributed, so that any "win" would most likely be investigated as to how the winner obtained both pieces. It is against game rules to sell game pieces, so if the winner purchased a game piece from another player (like on ebay), it would disqualify them from winning the prize. This ensures that there are fewer wins, and fewer costs for the company.

This has been your daily piece of uninteresting, useless dribble.

This year they've kicked it up a notch. Did you notice that you have to get some of the letters from their web site after typing in the code on the game piece? They can hook you in by giving you all four standard letters and giving you only one e-letter. They have made it possible to give away the scarcest game pieces to the people whom they KNOW don't have enough to win. And they make it seem so random by letting you spin that electronic wheel. Who knew that eating lunch would become just like playing the slots?

Do the available pieces happen to spell the following word?
