Considering that most people aren't going to win, this thread will quickly become unmanageable if people keep posting about their non-wins. I would kindly request that people refrain from posting about not winning, so that daily updates about lock locations and any other useful commentary won't get lost in the shuffle.

On a separate note, has anyone been able to redeem HHonors since the new site launch? I tried last week and earlier today - couldn't find the "continue" button to proceed...
Thanks!
BTW, played and didn't win. I never win.

Quick question: is each game winnable, meaning that one of the four lockers actually contains a winner? Or do you have to first be lucky enought to have a game with a winning locker and then manage to pick it with one of your three tries?

No. If you read the official rules you'll see that the games are essentially predetermined - a random time is chosen for each instant-win prize, and the first person to play after that random time will win that prize. The picking of the lockers is entirely superfluous - your outcome has been predetermined as soon as you get to the game page. (Indeed, if you don't want to mess with the whole picking of the lockers, just click on the link at the bottom left that says "Click here if you can't see the Flash game." That will take you to the final page and let you know whether you won or lost.)

First of all, I had trouble finding the lockers.(duh). When I finally found it,
I only found it on 1 of the sites. I end up playing all 3 times in the same section. Just wanted to know, is everyone playing a game on each section or all 3 chances on the same section?

Free Shipping
You may want to check out the Free Shipping site out today 
It looks to me that you can play 3 times off the same icon. Takes forever to load "the game" I may need to stop downloading the flash game each time.
