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

The best thing to do instead of buying someone elses ticket is just to send away for your own if you don't have a Rite aid near you.
I had all but the 18 rare pieces after the first day….but those rare ones are a big you know what.
About those 900,000 winning game tickets, I've already got a Nature Valley granola bar and twice I won 2 extra game tickets. Imagine that! It looks like Rite Aid counts extra game plays as prizes! Meanwhile, all these little purchases of 75% off Christmas candy are starting to take a toll on me. Steve
Yesterday I won a box of Cheese-Its…:) Better than nothing…Good filler item too if I need to spend $20…
I've heard somewhere that its definitely location when it comes to these games. Game pieces are distributed differently to the West Coast, Midwest and East Coast. Is there any truth to it?
Waooo I am missing the same ones as everybody here!I have been visiting Rite Aid since the firts day of the game; so it looks like this game is a scam why its been so difficult to find those markers when they have a bunches of prizes. Should I still buying????
Frederick,Maryland
all i need is number 97 wich is on an employye card game if any one have this number twice lets trade them ([email protected])
Has anyone received the pieces they've mailed away for yet? I sent in a bunch starting on the first day and I haven't gotten any of my sase's back yet 🙁
Has anyone else had an issue with cashiers asking customers for their game pieces? All of the stores I've gone to so far, the cashiers have been asking if they could have the game tickets if the customer didn't want them. I thought they were supposed to be barred from even playing. I have a feeling a lot of winners in my area will end up being friends of Rite Aid employees. I am tempted to call or email Rite Aid and tell them about it, but I don't know if that would do any good.
If you look at the rules above you will see that there is a separate employee giveaway going on at the same time. Maybe the pieces for the customer game also work for the employee game.
Just looking at the comments above….1) I have not received any of my SASE's back yet either. Hopefully this week 2) I haven't had any cashiers ask me for my tickets but they use the same tickets that we do. However, they should not be asking customers for their tickets. They have to buy items as well, then show their receipt to their managers who then give them the tickets. I would report it if they are asking for your tickets. 3) One of the Rite Aid reps emailed me back today. You SHOULD be receiving an extra game piece for EVERY bonus item (not just 2) as my receipts have been stating. I will see if I can get my additional pieces owed to me.
I posted the comments above. Not sure why it doesn't say absweeps.
you have to make sure that what you buy is what it says on the bonus items signs posted around the store, i was going and buying stuff that the sign was near and was only recieving 2 tickets until i noticed that sometimes the signs are in the wrong places and now i make sure what i get is actually on the sign. the receipt will show how many tickets you are supposed to get so if it says 2 tickets then thats how many your supposed to get.
The receipts are sometimes wrong. I printed the bonus items list off the web and took it with me to the store, purchased five of the items and my receipt only said two. The store gave me the additional tickets when I brought it to their attention.
It's not fair that the employees get to play the same game we do. They have an advantage over us as customers. Why didn't they set up a different game for the employees?
I'm not sure you read what I wrote above. The Employees are NOT playing the same game. See the rules and read the documentation on their site. They have their OWN game.
I have marker 23, which is Mountain Dew for the $5,000 cash. How rare is that one? Long shot, but if anyone has Pepsi, Marker 22, let me know. [email protected]
If you read the official rules it states that 15,000,000 of the "prizes" are the "instant wins" for extra game tickets 🙁
Thanks for posting the rare pieces. These are exactly all the same pieces I need too! (see below) I am in CA.

Here are the special game pieces that will complete your card for one of the 7,508 top prizes. If you have ANY of these numbers you're as good as a winner already: 52, 47, 46, 42, 39, 35, 29, 26. For the top 5 prizes there seem to be two rare game pieces for each: 22 & 23, 18 & 20, 14 & 15, 8 & 11, 1 & 6. This is based on my experience with about 25 game plays in the Philadelphia suburbs.
I was thinking the same thing about different game pieces being sent to different locations but I need exactly the same pieces as someone from the East Coast and I live in the West. Those numbers posted are right on and the rare ones we all need….Thanks for posting. GL everyone!
All I need is number 69 and 72. 72 is the major one I want. I have tons of extras. If anyone has extras of these just e-mail me and we can talk of trading. Thanks.

It is always sort of odd seeing people post looking to trade for the rare pieces, as though anyone with those rare pieces will be that silly to trade them for a bunch of common ones. I am not sure which I find more odd, people thinking others are that silly, or people being willing to ask, knowing they'd be taking the winning piece off of someone else like that.
In the rules it says when requesting a mail in piece the return address must match the address on the envelope. Does this mean on the sase that we are addressing to have sent back to us we should put our name and address in the regular spot as well as in the return address spot? So in both spots on one envelope?
Thanks!
It sounds like that is what you should do. If you have return address labels just use that in the left corner so you don't have to write it twice but make sure to hand write your name and address in the center just in case they want it that way.
This is what the rules say when sending for piece:
"Each request must be sent in a separate stamped outer mailing envelope with the requestor's first and last name, street address, city, state and zip or postal code (name and address must match the return name and address on SASE) legibly handwritten in the upper left hand corner of the outer envelope."
