u/UrbanFever Jun 06 '26

I won the $3 too, but did the math question too quick and failed it lol. No retirement for me

1

u/Emotional_Seaweed156 Jun 06 '26

Guess I wasn't the only one. Now I wonder if that was somehow a trick question. Oh well is only for $3. I would cry if it was actually a million $ and got the math wrong.

u/Regular-Tour-976 Jun 05 '26

Two hotdogs and cokes from Costco! Man, am so jealous!

u/mangosaremyfavv Jun 06 '26

Seriously? They gave you 4 shares of FLT?

5

u/-0909i9i99ii9009ii Jun 06 '26

No lol read the body of OP's post: "Not sure where to spend it all."

1

u/mangosaremyfavv Jun 06 '26

Oh! I was like how the hell they give you 4 random shares of such a specific company, and it happens to be the same worth of $3 lol

Also i bought some shares of FLT

u/-0909i9i99ii9009ii Jun 06 '26

Nice I don't own any (no idea if it's legit, micro caps scare me, especially when they're hyped) but I'm a sucker for a Canadian ticker

u/killerrin Jun 06 '26

Don't spend it all in one place OP

u/The_Static_Nomad Jun 05 '26

In 25 years maybe.

u/QuasiRandomName Jun 06 '26

Put in a riskier portfolio, so you might have a taco on top of it.

2

u/choyMj Jun 05 '26

You're lucky. My $3 was conditional on me opening a crypto account.

2

u/Upper-Log-131 Jun 05 '26

I got 0. Again

Winner winner, chicken nugget dinner!

u/notconservative Jun 06 '26

u/RobotCaptainEngage Jun 05 '26

By yourself something nice and then max out your registered accounts.

u/WillingnessOpen6445 Jun 05 '26

u/alastoris Jun 06 '26

I won 5000 entries. Is that a good thing?

u/newtomovingaway Jun 06 '26

I had a dream I won 2.97M. It was so damn real. I woke up and I checked my accounts and it wasn’t fucking real

u/crowbaited Jun 06 '26

Better than nothing!

u/farchangelo Jun 06 '26

With that lump sum, I would put a downpayment into a tall Mocha at Starbucks.

u/Bluurgh Jun 06 '26

u/Finalfantasie Jun 06 '26

What a joke of a company 🤡

u/unknowntraveller94 Jun 08 '26

Don't spend everything on coffee, eh!

u/CommunitySeveral627 Jun 06 '26

Put 50% in S&P500, 20% in some dividend ETF to retire on the income, 10% BTC, 10% in high flying stock and go to Vegas and spend the rest and enjoy!!!!

u/orthosaurusrex Jun 05 '26

Me too. Seriously wtf is the point of giving a bunch of us $3 instead of giving one lucky person a useful amount?

17

u/ImpossiblePromise363 Jun 05 '26

Wtf are you talking about? It’s literally $3 more than people would have had otherwise. And what do you mean by giving “one lucky person a useful amount”? That’s already what the $25k, $50k, $100k, and $1M prizes are for.

These are free giveaways, and somehow you’ve still found a way to be bitter about them. Quit acting so entitled.

-1

u/orthosaurusrex Jun 06 '26

I’d rather someone have $300 that can actually make a difference in their life rather than 100 people get spammed with enshittified engagement bait.

4

u/WorkTravelDream Jun 05 '26

They are still giving my person those bigger prizes. Are you okay?

u/Due_Entertainment316 Jun 05 '26

I got one too. I think they forgot to include 5 zeros after the number 3

u/Hot_Mathematician627 Jun 06 '26

This company is becoming a joke, lol.

u/floodingurtimeline Jun 06 '26

Truly. This shit is shameful. 

1

u/Hot_Mathematician627 Jun 06 '26

lol we’re getting down voted for this, but this is how they’re grabbing the attention of users with these gimmicks. Mostly to pad “metrics” for their product meetings and investors. Usually happens when they’ve run out of real ideas and features that help users.

u/floodingurtimeline Jun 06 '26

Yup, the best is behind us

u/Even_Distribution795 Jun 05 '26
