So when I went to DCA today I was handed an X Games Xperience "Ultimate Scratch & Win Game" card, promissing me the opportunity to win one of 10,000 prizes. I wasn't a winner, so I'm clueless as to what the prizes were.

Anyway, seems like another interesting way to promote the park, though it would have been nice if they themed it more like a California Lottery ticket.

So you're an instant loser too? ;)

The prizes are a car (a Saturn), an ATV and then t-shirts, hats, pins and I think a few other things.

All the stuff is on display in the esplanade (tacky) for your viewing enjoyment.

So with all these prizes, has anyone here on MP won anything?

Yeah, I noticed they were covering some of the paving stones. Imagine if a family from Idaho bought a stone and only came once a year, they couldn't even see their stone!

Does anyone know if the car has been given away yet?

Here is a thread that talked about the odds of winning, and it also lists all the prizes...

Figures! :rolleyes:

At least they could give out some prizes that wont break in the same day. :mad:

I wonder how long the car and ATV will last. :~D

I tried to do the math...I think the odds of winning ANYTHING are 1 in 1,600.

I have received 2 tickets so far and won nothing. I'll let you guys know if I do.

Between my husband and I, we've gotten 8 tickets (four trips to DCA), and nothing so far.

If you reenter through the front (or side) gate will they give you another scratcher? We reentered through the side gate, but I didn't think to ask. Maybe they don't give them out at the hotel, or maybe they don't give them out to reentries....

I think you're only supposed to be able to get one scratcher per day. So you won't get one when you re-enter.

I have had about a dozen cards. I'm so tired of "Sorry, not a winner". Whenever there is a game like that, soda caps, cards in merchandise, whatever. That's all I see- sorry, not a winner.

I think I may change my screen name to sorrynotawinner.

if you want more than your one chance to win, go to the Downtown Disney Monorail station and ask for a ticket. You don't need to go in the park to get it, just ask for it there. :D

How can you get a ticket at the Monorail station if the game is only for DCA?

Took my son with me today and we actually were a winner!! Josh had wanted to see Tony Hawk and what did we win? We won the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4, Too bad we don't have a Playstation2, guess there is always Christmas or his birthday to get him that. Anyways for a 40 dollar game I had to fill out several forms. Must find PS2 and borrow it!!!

concerning getting another ticket apon re-entry.. if the cast members are paying attention to there monitor like they should they would know and not give you one. The rule is... One ticket per person per day. but quite often they do give a second one... i guess just habit.

Last night was my fifth trip to DCA since the ticket thing started, and I won an X-Games Pin.
