On the 1st of January I took Nuch shopping for a 10th anniversary gift. She chose a nice ring at a shop in our local mall. After paying for the ring, the saleslady asked us to register for some kind of contest. I assumed it was a "lucky draw" where they pick a name from everyone who went shopping that day and you could win a pair of flip flops. I wasn't interested, but Nuch said the lady insisted, so we spent another 20 minutes copying receipts and registering - a complete waste of time, I thought.
It turns out this was not simply a "lucky draw". It was a contest for whoever spent the most money at the mall on January 1st, and a few days later, someone called Nuch to tell her she had won.
The mall asked her to come in to take a photo that they will use in an advertisement.
And the prize was not a pair of flip flops, but some Japanese skin cream worth about $200 - not bad.
The ring cost a few pennies, the facial cream was a nice bonus, but Nuch being able to tell her friends that her ring won the prize for most money spent on January 1st is priceless.
