Japanese convenience store offering chance to have your shopping be effectively free for one day

Family Mart, a popular Japanese convenience store chain, is offering a chance for customers to have their shopping effectively become free for one day. On November 11, if you pay using Family Mart's Fami Pay app, you can play a simple in-app game that may grant you Fami Pay credit equal to the total cost of your purchases. The minimum purchase required to be eligible is only 111 yen (US$0.70), while the maximum possible prize is an impressive 100,000 yen (US$630).

To enter the game, customers simply need to press the green start button twice, and then they will be informed whether they have won or not. The winning prize will be added to their Fami Pay account in mid-December, with the remaining credit (if any) added by May 31. If the game is lost, there is no need to worry as the customer will still need to pay for their purchases when they check out at the store.

The "game" is incredibly easy, with no skill required beyond pressing two buttons. Eligible customers can start playing the game at midnight on November 11, and they have until 11:59 p.m. on the same day to play. The game can be played anytime between November 11 and 13, giving customers ample opportunity to try their luck at winning big.
