Fun but redemption is futzy.
Puzzle itself is, yanno, a puzzle. I've had better-made ones (some pieces that don't match will fit together, had to look close and un-fit a few), but overall it makes an enjoyable couple hours. Finished puzzle is 15.7 x 15.7 inches.I won 25c. This is not a surprise. It rolls for your prize when you turn it in, there isn't a One True Puzzle that is The Winner. This feels less fun to me, and more open to abuse, but I know that (outside of abuse) it doesn't make a statistical difference.But redeeming the 25c is being more hassle than it's worth (except that I am vindictive). They sent a digital check with the option to print it out, deposit digitally (by taking a photo with your app) or have them send paper. Digital deposit was promptly refused by my bank for being a picture of a screen. I don't wanna print it; it's not gonna look any more legitimate, especially with digital deposit. So I want them to send me a check. There's spaces to fill in your name, street, unit #, city state zip. I hit okay and it goes "are you sure you want to send this check to street street city state zip?"I am the sort of person who gets irritated when I think someone is trying to cheat me. It's already a $30 puzzle where most people win 25c, now you're not even going to give people their 25c?So I put my name and address all in the address1 field. Maybe the post office will figure out "name street unit# name street unit# city state zip". I hope they have to put a 50c stamp on this 25c check.

The pieces are small and make sure you have enough time for it to get there
It looked like an interesting concept. I ordered mine late, however, as there is a deadline to get it done by to get a prize and it didn't get to my house in time to get it done before that. The pieces were pretty tiny for me and my brother to put together. At the original price of about $30-ish, it was a bit much for me. By the time I ordered it, it had been marked down quite a bit, which helped, but then it was just bad timing.I might do this again this year, maybe, but I'm just not sure.

Cheap! Won $1 or something ridiculous
I know its a lotto but when you win the least amount you always wonder what the odds actually are. We got this around Christmas time as a gift, for $40. The puzzle was not easy to do but not out of it being actually challenging but because the puzzle pieces don't fit together well and are very thin and cheaply made.When assembled, the QR code did not work right away which was disappointing. We had to download a specific app because the one that works for everything else, barcodes, QR codes, mfg codes, etc., that we always use wasn't able to read this code. Perhaps because when looking at it from afar, the spaces between the pieces are quite visible (because the pieces don't fit well) and probably stop the lines from being concurrent enough for the scanner to read it.And after completing the puzzle, there is no reason to keep it. So into the landfill, I guess. Other puzzles have pretty images so you can hang them on the wall or something but these have no use. And can't be regifted because who wants to do a puzzle of a barcode where someone already claimed the prize at the end?Overall it wasn't terrible, it gave us something to do for 2 days, but it wasn't worth $40 especially when the reward was $1 and a useless puzzle at the end. They should have made there be an image behind the QR code so it was at least something at the end, and they need to use better quality construction for the pieces. On some of our pieces, the color part was even coming apart from the corkboard backing. Totally cheap and a turnoff from this product and its manufacturer in the future. But they probably don't care since they just scammed people with their unregulated 'lotto'.

Fun time.
Okay lets be honest, you CANNOT buy this puzzle thinking you are going to win a million dollars. Like really people? The reviews that gave low stars due to not winning money is sad. I bought this puzzle for something to do, not to win millions. This puzzle was challenging because there is no picture with the puzzle and with the color gradient every piece blended together. It took my husband and me about 2 days to complete. Now we did not spend hours on the puzzle and we also have young children so 2 days means maybe a total of 5 hours with getting interrupted every say 20 minutes. I would say for 30$ for that long = a good date night. The reason I'm giving lower stars is because the pieces DO match in the wrong spots. With that stated, we had to take apart and rework some parts of the puzzle which was challenging because like I previously stated there is no photo to go off of. When you finish the puzzle you simply scan it with your camera on your phone type in the code on the paper inside the box and it tells you instantly what you "won." Your "winnings" will be sent to your email address after you fill out all the information. Enjoy, and don't buy thinking you're going to win big.

Big excitement MAJOR disappointment!
I bought this for a "family" gift. While there is major excitement knowing you could win big money it was quickly shut down. Once we actually completed the puzzle we were unable to scan. I completely assure you it was completely correctly. We tried scanning it with different platforms (apple & android and even QR code apps) but it wouldn't recognize anything. I immediately emailed the company and they got back to me a week or 2 later. Only for them to ask for the code provided and no proof of puzzle. Of course we only won $0.25 but it isn't about how much we won. It's about the excitement of finishing the puzzle only to tell your 8 year old, sorry I know we finished but it doesn't work. Either way I was still very excited to buy and complete. However, I would NEVER buy again (and I planned on buying a couple more due to the excitement and effort put in) but hopefully they work out the kink of reading the QR code.We spent approximately 5-6 hours total on thjs puzzle.
