I remember this one time I found a golden ticket inside a chocolate bar and I got to tour a really cool chocolate factory with my Grandpa. Turns out the guy gave me the chocolate factory at the end and so now I own a chocolate factory. But wait, I don't own a chocolate factory. Maybe I just dreamt this...
If I found one of these tokens, I would take the thousand bucks.

If I found one of these tokens I would take the 100,000 cents and coin roll hunt for the next year or so. (My social life isn't that great!)

Quoting from the rules Quote:
Lucky Pennies in the course of their regular activities, not to encourage hunting for Ally Lucky Pennies in obscure locations or travel. Automobile dealerships in which Ally Lucky Pennies may be placed by Sponsor will display signage indicating that such dealerships are participating in the Sweepstakes. Except for such automobile dealerships, Ally Lucky Pennies will not be placed by Sponsor in retail stores or on other private property. Sponsor will place the Ally Lucky Pennies in plain sight (such as, by way of illustration only, on a sidewalk in a public park) and will not place Ally Lucky Pennies in areas that members of the public are not generally permitted to enter, or in locations where an Ally Lucky Penny could not be found without extensive searching or the moving of items (by way of example, an Ally Lucky Penny would not be hidden by Sponsor underneath a trash can, or in a storage room or closet, or behind or underneath merchandise on a shelf). -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ |

@KenKat  Thanks for the bucketful of laughs.  When I was math teacher I duplicated the Golden Tickets from the original show by changed a but of the wording. Basically if a student got a 100& on the homework for a chapter and the chapter review, they did not have to take the test for the chapter (they always had to show every step they took in figuring out their answer). The only one I ever was able to award was to a kid who took the test anyway instead of turning in the ticket. When I asked him why he wanted to take the test he said b/c the ticket looked authentic enough that he wanted to keep it! And, yes, of course we both knew he would get an A anyway... which he did. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Haha, Kenkat.
The Ally pennies are no where near where I live. Of course I would turn it in for the cash value if I ever came across one. As I am new to the coin collecting hobby, I find myself thinking I see a dropped coin here or there when I am out and about, and most often it turns out to be a false alarm. Even before my new interest, I always stooped down to pick up a penny if I saw it on the ground.

They each have a code on them. So you can't use a replica. And it doesn't matter where it is found. Someone may pick it up thinking its a penny, and then give it away, or try to spend it. On their twitter feed it said one was picked up but not claimed yet. And they encourage you to check your pockets to see if you already have one. I'm sure they will eventually end up on ebay once the contest ends. You would just have to get access to the code list to see if it was real or not. I like it. Great idea. |

Great for advertising. Anytime you can get your brand on the news for good without having to pay for the advertising. And make people talk about your company.
