What does that mean it comes with 1099 misc?

only got one free play . how did you get 2
Did you fill out the form twice and click the links from both emails?
I was able to complete all challenges in one sitting by filling out the form multiple times and selecting a different challenge each time
Won anything?
yes. but I also had gotten two from a purchase so I am not sure if it will allow me to get the other free one.
Says I need an account with a registered card 🙁
The 1099-MISC will not be for the ARV. It will be for the cost of the food/beverages that are purchased with the credits.
The rules states “Grand, First and Second First Prize Winners will be responsible for income tax based on the retail price of the items that are redeemed and will receive an annual IRS Form 1099 for each tax year where the total value of the prize redeemed is equal to $600 or more.
Good catch, I’ve updated the post.
I’d been wondering about that… if you had to pay taxes on the ARV, I’m not sure I could afford to win!
It’s letting me fill out the form as many times as I want. Each time, I get another email and another game play.
cool let us know what u win
It let me do that also about 10 times till doesn’t work
The Starbucks for life is for 30 years. I guess if you drink Starbucks every day for 30 years…
I won 75, 50, and Instant Win 10 bonus stars before it kicked me out.
Thank you for your post. After 14 tries and not winning anything I was convinced it’s fixed. I guess it’s only somewhat fixed
was able to do it about 20+ times using different browsers and incognito…
however haven’t won anything yet and now it seems like they closed my account
Thanks for the datapoint
I won 75 stars as well as 10 instant win stars!
is this still supposed to be working?
I got like 20 free plays yesterday and 10 ish today. All in all I won 50 free stars yesterday and some more free plays. I have 2 of 3 of just about all of the options now. I’m probably missing the rare ones.

I won a mug with an instant win piece. Got an email with a redemption bar code. Can purchase the mug in participating stores, up to $12.95 value.
I feel like this is rigged. I’ve played so many times and each category has two filled but cannot manage to get the third
Jeje, same story for me … in addition now I can only get 1 play a day instead of 2 plays
If you read through the small print, it explains how it works. Two pieces in each category are “common”, and there’s a limited number of the rare pieces for each category. Each of those rare pieces has been assigned a random timestamp, and whether you ever win that piece or not depends solely on if you are the first player to roll after that specific time.
The link just leads me to the SBFL login page…
You have to log in first. You need an account.
i have played the games 2 times per day since it has started…its a complete rigged fake game
Agree. Game seems rigged
Anyone figure out the magical combination that allows you the most paid plays and entries with the least amount of money?
