1983 Donkey Kong Arcade Sweepstakes
« on: November 17, 2024, 06:16:29 am »
Ralston's Donkey Kong cereal ran a sweepstakes in 1983 to win a full size DK Arcade Machine.   The winning ticket was inside the cereal box.

Do you think anybody actually won this?  Imagine winning that in the early 80s!

Apologies if this was posted to the forum before, but if so, I couldn't find it.

Not sure about the DK but Sega gave away some cabs as well through cereal IIRC and the Pengo that was given away actually turned up for sale on KLOV awhile back I think.
In the summer that you came
There was something eating everyone
And the sunshine fund was low
We couldn't greet you with a simple hello
