RITE AID The Game of Life Collect and Win Game
Add to your Sweeties Sweeps Favorites List
Here’s one sweet game from @Riteaid, found by Paula. You might get your mortgage paid, win a new Infiniti convertible, get your kitchen made over, or win $10. They are giving away 900,000 instant win game prizes and 15,000,000 extra game tickets. There is even a bonus Carnival Cruise Sweepstakes going on that you can enter too, see below.
EVERYONE should win at that rate. However, there is a slight catch. You will either have to buy a product at Riteaid or send away for a game card. It is definitely worth it to try to get in some entries into this Riteaid game because there is a lot of CASH and Riteaid gift cards being given away. It will cost you 88 cent to request a game code because you must include a self-addressed stamped envelope.
Eligibility: Customer must be at least 18 years of age and a legal U. S. resident. Florida residents are not eligible to participate in promotion.
Entry Dates: begins January 3, 2010 and must be postmarked by February 23, 2010
How to enter: two ways
With Purchase: receive a free game ticket each time you make a purchase at any participating RITE AID while supplies last. You will also receive a game ticket each time you purchase any participating Bonus game ticket items while supplies last at any participating RITE AID. Purchases made at www.RiteAid.com will not qualify for game tickets or bonus game tickets. Game tickets will only be awarded during the transaction in which they were earned.
Bonus Ticket Items: Get one game ticket every time you make a purchase at Rite Aid plus get one Bonus Game Ticket for each specially marked bonus item you buy. The more Bonus Products you buy, the faster you win! Here is the full list of bonus ticket prizes.
Receive one game ticket with each purchase transaction, for each participating Bonus product purchased. Bonus products are noted with signs throughout the store.
For a free entry, mail a self-addressed stamped envelope to:

From Rules: “Receive one free game ticket per day…..Requests that are sent in business reply envelopes, that utilize address labels or stickers, that are photocopied, hand-stamped, computer-generated or otherwise mechanically or digitally produced or reproduced, that are not mailed in separate outer stamped mailing envelopes, or that otherwise fail to comply with these Official Rules will NOT be honored, acknowledged or returned, and the persons submitting such requests will forfeit any corresponding postage and unused envelopes.”
TO WIN: Open the game ticket. Inside, find an instant prize area for a cents off coupon for a product in our stores or a coupon good for an instant winner/free product prize. Also inside are four markers, designed to affix to the game board and a sweepstakes marker.
Affix markers to the RITE AID “The Game of Life™ Collect & Win” game board. Collect all the markers on each prize grid and win that prize or obtain an Instant Win coupon. All prizes subject to verification.

I am DONE with this game. I went to Rite Aid tonight. I go to a store that's open till midnight and I went around 11:45 so I was the only customer in the store. When I got to the register I saw that the 3 employees working were there with stacks of tickets opening them all and taking the instant wins and the pieces they needed!!! What a scam!
Please call 1-800-RITEAID (1-800-748-3243) or send them email from http://www.riteaid.com/contact_us/contact_customer_service.jsf and tell them about what you saw. There are video tapes and these jerks should be fired. I got a phone call back after I complained about a much simpler matter than this!
Interesting, rare marker 06 is $60 on eBay. The purchaser will still need to locate 01 to get the $250,000. I've got the rare 14. Anyone have 15 to complete the 25,000?
Just got an email from customer service. I sent in over 40 requests since the game began and they haven't sent me any back. Since there are "strict guidelines", they can't send me my 40 requests only one a day. She also had the nerve to say I can get more tickets from purchases at Rite Aid.
I will no longer shop at Rite Aid. This is outrageous and the customer service people are a joke.
Shouldn't give RITE AID anymore money!
I'm appalled. I've e-mailed them as Sweetie suggested, so hopefully they'll start cracking down on some of the bad employees!
The one request a day is a joke. I sent in one a day for about 2 weeks. Know what I've gotten back? One game piece. They're not even honoring requests that follow the guidelines and as far as I'm concerned that's a total scam. I will never shop at Rite Aid again.
Any winners yet? I've checked a bunch of sweepstakes sites and so far I've only read about 1 winner. Seems really strange for a game that is supposedly giving away so many prizes.
I'm willing to give away marker number 6 if someone will give me marker number 1. Additionally, I'm willing to pay $1,000 for maker number 1. Anybody??
Does your offer still stand?

No winners yet? If Rite Aid is smart, they will wait until near the end to ship the missing game pieces. That way everyone keeps buying and hoping for a big prize. Do all your game pieces say Series RIT-01 on the front? I would get excited if I started seeing a different series number. -Steve
RIT-01 refers to the customer game, if you get a RIT-02 piece, it’ll be completely useless
Employees DO NOT play the same game as customers, they DO NOT use the same tickets, and if you are having issues at the store with not getting tickets you are due, talk to the Store Manager first, odds are they will accommodate you.
It doesn't matter if employees are using the same tickets or playing the same game. They are still stealing the tickets to sell and give to their friends. Lots of unopened tickets are selling on ebay for up to $100. No one but employees would have 100's of tickets to sell.
Now I'm being told there is a certain number of purchases allowed in an hour. If I want my tickets, I would have to mail in requests.
Sorry, not if I want my tickets…if I want more tickets:)
I'm starting to get some of my SASE's back. So far, I have received 10. I won a pinnacle 4×6 silver with black frame today (instant win on game ticket). Before this, I have only won extra tickets. No big wins yet.
wow thats crazy I can't believe they are cheating like that. I've definitley lost faith in Rite Aid and its sweeps, I'm tossing my game boards!

Game of Life Tickets: I am thinking about offering to buy large quantities of UnOpened game tickets in new condition (no water damage, no creases, etc.) from others that have accumulated legitimately and wish to get rid of. I am not interested in buying from Rite Aid employees who may have aquired illegitimately. I am trying to gauge the interest out there. If you would prefer to respond privately then post a general comment asking for my email address.

An update…I sent in 7 requests for the game pieces…5 in one mailing and 2 in another. I didn't know about the 1 a day rule until it was too late. I sent the SASE's right when the game started at the beginning of January…and I finally received the last 2 pieces today! It took a while, but I did finally get all of them. No wins yet, though – other than more game pieces!
I sent in 45 requests and only got back 10. Its good that some were sent, but to not send the rest because of their rule is wrong.
All,
I went to Rite Aid this morning to make some purchases and when the clerk asked me if I was playing the game, I said "yes". The clerk pulled out a basket full of tickets and proceeded to count double the amount that my register tape had indicated. When I asked why, the clerk said that Corporate had visited their store yesterday and instructed the clerks to double up on all tickets given out going forward. I suspect Rite Aid may have more tickets left to give out than time left to play so they need all tickets to be distributed to flush out all of the winners. Make sure your store doubles up going forward. By the way I live in Rhode Island.

I’ve never liked Rite-Aid but I live right near one so it’s pretty convenient. Many of their items are past the pull date. Not to mention being pretty high priced. Well anyway, I got into playing this Game of Life crap. I find however that now when I go into a Rite-Aid I have to ask the clerks for my game pieces. The other day I was in a hurry and the clerk didn’t give me ANY. And then just tonight I made some purchases AND I bought some gum that would have given me an extra ticket. I should have played closer attention because, yeah, you guessed it, the clerk only gave me one ticket. And I’m sure as hell not gonna get in my car and go back and ask for another one….
In the beginning I was getting quite a few of the correct pieces, now I’m not getting ANY. I have a ton of tickets that I don’t need.
I don’t know if the whole thing is a sham but it does make me wonder…..
Thanks for the info, Patrick! Headed to my local RA now and hope for the same. We have GREAT employees at our RA (northern Michigan) that have been disgusted at what has been going on at other stores. Really hope I see some winners on here soon!
I did won Axe Deodorant.Hubby will be happy
Everybody,
I have discovered that there have been several big prize winners such as:
one Kitchen Makeover winner out of Glendale, CA.
two $5,000 cash winners out of Atlanta, GA and Greensboro, SC
five $1,000 cash winners out of 1=NY, 1=NJ, 1==NC, 1=GA, 2=CA
four cruise winners out of 1=NY, 1=ME, 1=SC, 1=CA
and many many smaller prize winners. I dont know if i can list an outside web site address her but you can see the most recent winners list at www rite aid dot com
Is there anyone from your town or city listed? Check the list out. Let us know.
Patrick…
This GoL is becomming a little addictive. I got my fix today. Here is how.
I went into my local RA this afternoon to use a raincheck issued last week to purchase four items (Dawn Dish detergent .88 / bottle) and my register tape calculated five free tickets, the cashier doubles up on my tickets so I receive 10 tickets. I also turned in two Instant Winner coupons for 2 free tickets each and the cashier doubles those up so I receive 8 tickets, so combined I received 18 tickets total. I did not find any rare numbers (boob hoo) but….. I did earn 6 more Instant Winners out of the 18 tickets I open for 12 free tickets next time, doubled up = 24 tickets. I cant take it.
You need to find the stores in your area that double up and take advantage of this crazyness.
Patrick…
I think it doesn't matter if they double up or not, me and my girlfriend have been playing this game for about a month, and everytime we go to the store, they give us about 5 tickets each time…. The last time we went was today and they gave us around 50 tickets…. 50!…. first, i suspected why the cashiers give the tickets like that… and then, i realized after having the tickets in my hand that the advertisements on the back were the same 5 all the time, and we noticed that the tickets inside were all the same…. So this way they can easily pick out which tickets to give to the customers no matter if they give u only 4 tickets or 50, they know which ones to pick out from. They don't even have to open them!!!!…

The back picture doesn’t matter, I had the store manager confirm it at the store I went to
I am looking for people who want to exchange their extra game tickets.
I am looking for game pieces 1, 6, 8, 11, 15, 18, 20, 23, 26, 29, 35, 39, 42, 46, 47, and 52
If you are interested in exchanging, please contact me at logandy08@sbcglobal.net and in the subject area put ATTN: Game Life Player

Wow 50 tickets!! Thats outragious. That has happened to me a few times. In that case I would check the tickets at the register and if you notice multiple duplicates ask the cashier if they can give you some others. It cant hurt to ask.
Patrick…
I am swapping game pieces with 6 different people in the Cleveland area and I am still 1 game piece from being a winner. The only thing that I am winning are FREE Game Pieces.
I even had a friend who went to gamble in P.A. go to several Rita Aid Stores there and out of 8 game pieces, there was only 1 ticket that I needed.
I am going to ask my friend in California if they have any, but right now, I think that my chances of winning anything is NONE.
When I look at how many possible winning tickets are out there, it amazes me, that I haven't even won $20.00.
Ang
I need piece 15. If anyone has it I will buy for $3,000. Please email me at chandel@tmo.blackberry.net.
Thanks!
can someone please email me a copy of the game board? My stupid computer won't download the file??? says the file is damaged! I just got my tickets in mail today but I don't know what the gameboard looks like! I a desparate piddlepoo2@yahoo.com
It took a LONGGG time but I received every ticket that I mailed away for except one. Hopefully, they are holding out on the big one. I know….wishful thinking!
Over the course of the game I have accumulated about 200 "instant win" tickets for 2 more free tickets each…no other prizes. Today I cashed those in and got the 400 tickets I "won". I spread it out over several stores…and all I "won" is more free tickets. I don't understand how it's possible that out of all these tickets I didn't even win one of the instant prizes? Even one single free product? Am I the unluckiest person alive? Lol.
I have now opened more than 1000 of these and have only had 4 instant wins for free tickets….so I think I am the unluckiest person alive!
This is a test comment after some changes made to this Rite Aid Game of Life comment area on Sunday evening. It looks like the format for entering comments has changed. I noticed any comments posted on 2-14-10 and 2-15-10 were lost during this change. If Wendy has any insight as to what happened that would be great.
Thanks
I moved the entire site over to a new system and while most of the posts and comments imported into this new system some were lost. I believe we lost 6 comments on this thread so those people who commented need to write what they wanted to say again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Wendy,
Thanks for the reply and glad you were aware of the details. So far the new system seems to work well from our end. Hopefully it works well from your end as well.
I have rare piece #11. If anyone has #8, I would be interested in spliting cash option on Infiniti G37 – or selling my ticket. Please contact dreahurley@gmail.com Thx.
I wish they’ve could have made this easier….
Hi, I’ve been playing this game for a while. I now have hard to find marker 6 and 11. If someone wants to go in on the prizes with me and they have marker 1 or the one needed for the car..(not sure) please email me at ederaneveruns@gmail.com I figure winning something is better then nothing! only a little bit of time left
I have…

If you’re interested in purchasing any of these tickets from me, please e-mail me at suziibanshee@yahoo.com with which ticket(s) you would like and how much you are offering. Payments can be made through a secure medium like paypal, so no worries :] I have several of each ticket if that helps, and have given up on the game so trading isn’t really for me. I have a few offers so far but am willing to negotiate! I can also provide photo proof!!
Thanks!
