After each game we had a chance to trade in our cards for a new one, but I kept mine because I'm stubborn that way and had a feeling that <span style="font-style: italic;">it was due</span>. <br /><br />Then, in the last game... Bingo! Grand prize!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://images.apple.com/chatterbox/us/2008/recurring/ipod_shuffle_thanks/img/ipodshuffle2.jpg" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I've never had an iPod of my very own before. It's just a Shuffle, but at least I get to wear the white earbuds now like all the cool kids have.&nbsp; Yay, Bingo!</div>
