Redditor Hits the "Jackpot" As the Amazon Return Pallets Gave Him a Surprise of 40x 16 GB DDR5 RAM Sticks for Just $100

We hope this doesn’t convince you to waste your money on Amazon return pallets, but this story might tempt some to try their luck. While we have been posting reports of users getting free hardware worth hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars, this is one of the craziest stories so far. The user u/Apprehensive-Dig2898 posted that he "Hit the jackpot with Amazon return pallets".

User with Reddit default name promotes Amazon Return Pallet ad.

I always wonder about things like this. It takes virtually no effort to imply your service is actually a lottery where you might be given massive returns just by using your service.

You're not actually a gambling service, though, so you don't have to give anything for real, nor submit to any form of regulation. It's just a hypothetical lottery as an advertisement.

There's a YouTube channel that's been around for a long time called official duck studios. It was a few guys that made random bullshit videos, which was funny, but for several years they were sponsored by CS lootbox opening sites. They essential had to remove the first several years of their youtube career because turns out that's just gambling. Surprise.

Can you guess what kind of videos they're making today?

Oh boy. I don't suppose this is November, Liam, and Rocz, and they're off taking $2/subscriber to make WTYP episodes?

Also if this did really happen l, we ensured whoever made the error was sacked and now have checks and balances put in place to push further errors by having employees responsible have their pay docked.

In other words don't expect lighting to strike twice you pleebs.
