My very first game show experience! Goodness I look happy and hopeful that I'll win something good... But that's not quite what happened. For three days starting on June 22, eBay held a game in Times Square to promote the "Daily Deals" featured on the popular auction/shopping website. There was a first come first serve line to get in the studio. I got there around 2pm and finally got in at 3 (there was a new game every hour). Everyone got a number and was randomly called to guess the price of the prizes. Some of the goods up for grabs were a digital camera, a laptop, a blue-ray player, and more. 
I was lucky number 10, but I didn't get called to play. However, like all the participants, I received a $25 eBay gift card, which I've already put to good use. There were also chances to win gift cards via text message by guessing the price of items shown on the big screen in Times Square. I played like fifty times and didn't win and ended up memorizing prices of stuff. You could also enter to win online. Overall it was an interesting experience and best of all it was free!
