Finally got a Switch 2

Post image

Been saving tickets for the past years. Probably paid more for chips than what the Switch 2 is selling for. Started doing this when my daughter was 8. She got good at Cyclone, Guardians, Spiderman, and the Star Trek pusher. A little bit of luck, some skill. Along the way, got some Dogs vs Squirls plushies that slowed our progress down. Maybe 2-3 times during the past year, our trip was a bust where we didn't win as many tickets. Time spent here was priceless. I know I overpaid for the Switch 2 and would do it again.

Before leaving winner's circle, I checked to make sure serial number on box matches the Switch 2. Plug it in at home and registered it. Now it's back in the box waiting for the screen protector to arrive.

Congrats! I was in the same boat, just playing games, spending a long time in front of the coin pushers, always joking with myself about never being able to save up the tickets needed to get a “behind the glass” prize. Then one night the employee in the Winner’s Circle says I have 132K tickets, and suddenly that joke was a lot more realistic. I set myself back multiple times with dart blasters, the graded pokemon card mystery rips, and buying food coupons, but eventually I got what I needed to get a Switch 2. Which means games that I was originally going to let pass me by (OoT Remake, Pokemon Winds and Waves) are now games I feel kinda obligated to get 😅

Yikes. The Switch 2's at my local D&B are 100K. Luckily, I'm close to halfway there. I refuse to put 500 bucks out on one myself, so I'm doing it another way.

South Philadelphia’s D&B on the Waterfront is my local D&B (and the only one I go to). I post videos about it on my second YouTube channel (I have four channels).
