    Is that coupon what you search for in the store?

      Hey Minnie! It looks like you might be hunting for a piece of cardstock (or similar) paper with a golden gnome figure printed on it, though specific details for this year’s event haven’t been released yet. You might check back on or after March 20th! ❤️

    I had a co-worker who did this during Dec. She’d get off work right before the store opened so she did it 4 different times and won each time! She said she had to spend what she won that same day. You cant collect them. I tried 1 time and didn’t get any, they were already found, so go early! Whether it’s the AM or PM round.

      Not sure how she managed to win 4 times. Rules state you can only win once during game period. During Christmas time when they did it, WM needed to see and record my license when I won.

      • jen

        She got lucky I guess! Maybe they didn’t record it correctly and let her win several times. It was different days I know that, and it wasn’t a hook up, she woulda said lol.

    • Gramma C

      That’s very hard to believe. We’ve been playing these search games for years and they make it clear it’s one win per person.

      • jen

        Idk what to tell ya’ll 🤷‍♀️ I’ll let her know ppl didn’t believe she won so many times lol. I was actually happy for her. It’s not her fault if they allowed her to win it, it’s not like she cheated. I’m pretty sure she didn’t know about the 1 win per person, I didn’t !

      • J’son Jackson

        I win multiple times each december. They aren’t cross referencing if you’ve won already. Only way would be if same worker recognized you. They recorded my same license 5x this year.

        • ScrapGal

          At my store the had a binder and recorded the licsence under the letter of your last name. So when I won they looked under the Os and saw that I wasn’t already there and gave me the prize. After I won once I stopped trying cause I knew they had me in that binder LOL.

    We happened to be in the store once before Covid when they did this before. People were there when the store opened looking all over. They hid the figure in the wrong place. Someone found it without really looking and everyone else was p.o.ed!

    • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

      Oh no! Hoping the event goes a bit smoother for your location this year, acgold. 🤞💖
