25 and a free coffee drink although the latter expires 4/21, which is not easy to use given shelter at home. I wonder if they will extend? Appreciative of this fun game though!

Select drive thrus still should be open. Perhaps you could loop by on your way to the grocery store. Or, better, some of the ones in grocery stores are still open.

I think I'm going to try one near us when I'm out to pick up a grocery order.

Message Starbucks for a date extension. I had points expiring April 1st which were extended until June 1st.

Another 35 star day.

I’ve been playing in the middle of the night for over a week now. Every day, 25 stars first, then after waiting a couple minutes, the second play yields 10. Always those amounts and always in that order. Awfully strange, given the game works by the computer generating 2.5 million winning times and if you’re the first person to play after that time you win the prize...

They announced they were extending star expiration dates.

Only 10 stars for me today.

Does Starbucks do regular promotions like this for loads of free stars without any purchase required? I had never seen one before. Picked up about 350 stars and a free coffee. Loved it!

They do promos like this a few times each year, although some require purchases to complete squares (bingo or hopscotch).

645 for me in the end, if I’m counting correctly... way better than the last promo.

Purchases aren’t required for any of the games. Next one will probably be http://www.starbuckssummergame.com again.

I thought the bingo/hopscotch ones that had different requirements (buy X, spend Y, make Z purchases in a day) required you to meet those.

Most Starbucks promos have a method for entry without a purchase with the last promo allowing a max of 2 entries per day with any combination of purchase and/or free entries. The free entry method is usually in the small print at the bottom of the contest page. Not every Starbucks promo allows 2 entries per day.
