So sad that the instant win games no longer features the box opening and a confetti show when you win. What happened?

That definitely was a fun little feature. Not sure why they removed it. SMH.

I'm missing it as well tonight. Made me feel like it was actually doing something. I saw a post that they were having video problems today so I hope it is just a glitch that will be fixed soon.

@rednexsrus @MichelleM50204 @GitaG508487 Thanks for noticing! We will pass on your comments to the team and we certainly appreciate seeing your feedback! The team simplified this due to confusion it was causing a number of users who provided that feedback. You will still be notified if you are a winner but via text.

Real time copy on the Instant Win screen and then an email confirmation if you are a winner. Same as it was before. This has not changed sorry for any confusion.

AARPTeri seems to think the confetti show was causing some confusion with some members.?????

"The team simplified this due to confusion it was causing a number of users who provided that feedback"

Can't imagine that

Anyway, I would like to have seen balloons, and a bunch of fireworks exploding along with the confetti.

Life's little pleasures you know

Hello everyone 🤗. I hope this is where I'm suppose to ask this question. It's about the Instant Win game Winners. I did a name search ( Susan ) on the Winners list and Susan M ,B and P and a few others. If you check, you'll see just for these Winners name beginning with Susan have won a lot of times. Please explain to me how this comes to be. I don't mean to cause any problems but something is Definitely Wrong. They stopped showing the City and State. I guess I'll never win now that I've brought this Topic to the Community. I'm just saying

@AARPTeri I scored an Instant Win the other night and did notice there is no longer a box of confetti. I was, however, pleasantly surprised to see “Lucky you” instead of “Sorry, not today”. I received my email notification and gift card right away.

I have been doing searches for the Instant Win game winners for 7 months now. I download the info into a pdf file on my laptop and can then do a search along with the number of wins for select people. The winners had uncommon names but consistently win 7 to 14 times over a 3 month period. These are names like Shinobu, Hsiuchi, Masahiro, Winnie, Reese Anne - I will not report their last initial as displayed but the last initial is consistent within the list of winners that is to say there are not 2 different people with the same first name. Now perhaps there are different people who have the same first name AND first initial of the last name but I do believe those odds are slim given the uniqueness of the first names.

I have been asking for well over 3 months now about how some people can keep winning on a regular basis when most of us cannot. I have gotten no reply. Maybe @AARPTeri is looking into this. I truly hope so before the rest of us get so frustrated that we give up on this system.

Another member suggested that the Instant Wins should be for members only. I agree. Also, Instant Wins should be limited to 3 a month. Do I hear deafening laughter out there? Here I am suggesting 3 a month when most of us cannot win 1 in 3 months.

Thanks for being another voice on this issue.

Hello everyone 🤗 yes that is funny 🤣. I'm glad that someone else see what I'm saying. How are these same people winning over and over again. I'm just saying

I totally agree with BeachGirl23's comments, and have posted on this forum about making changes to the Instant Wins program a few times in the past several months. The status quo is unacceptable, and it should be an embarrassment for AARP to continue as if nothing needs fixing.

Really, just some curiosity here...has anyone won since they did away with the confetti box? I hate this new thing without the box and confetti. It just cheapened the experience tenfold for me. So, please, anyone? Has anyone won an instant win since the confetti box went away, earlier this month? Thank you! 🙂

I won a Petco Instant Win on July 21st. I almost didn't notice that I won without the confetti coming out of the box.

Re: Instant Win Games

BeachGirl23 — Sun, 25 Jul 2021 17:15:15 GMT

Nope no wins here - either with or without confetti. What I don't like about the new, surprise box less screen is it automatically takes you to the loser screen...without hesitation. No fun in that.

My dad won a Foot Locker gift card. Don't remember what day but after the change.

We both miss the graphics!

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, not that anybody on AARP will do anything about it. Especially now with the great new news. To all who don't know yet but today AARP announced that "Coming Soon - Weekly Instant Win Winners are Increasing from 100 to 125." So now instead of having a 0% chance of winning we will have a 1% chance of winning. I am sure this will be welcome news for those "consistent winners". My guess is that AARP is trying to make some members happy by thinking that if there are more winners, there will be less complaining. Will see, but I doubt it.
