Numbers game
As the recent Mega Millions proved, it can be fun to play a few bucks with the hopes of winning big. To add a little more luck, the Colorado Lottery is giving players an extra chance at cashing in a winning ticket. According to the Lottery, Lotto and Cash 5 offer the best odds to win, whether it’s in the millions or thousands. Buy $10 worth of Lotto (on a single ticket) at Shell, Exxon and Mobil Suncor locations and receive a free $2 Cash 5 ticket for one drawing. The bonus ticket automatically prints, following the qualifying Lotto ticket purchase. The offer is valid through Nov. 4 or until the allotment of free tickets is exhausted. coloradolottery.com/events/288
Cartoon time
Harkins Theatres is bringing cinema’s favorite mischievous, yellow, banana-loving characters back to the big screen with its Illumination Film Festival from Oct. 26 to Nov. 1. The festival plays at both Harkins Theatres locations in Arvada and Denver. See “Despicable Me”, “The Secret Life of Pets”, “Sing” and “Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax” for $5 each during the weeklong family-friendly event. Each film screens once each day of the festival, so the family can see their favorite multiple times. Parents know the drill. Kids can watch the same film over and over and over again. Tickets are on sale at the box office and online. harkins.com/iff.
Hero’s meal
There are many ways to thank first responders for their heroic efforts in helping others, but feeding them is near the top of the list.

First responders may choose from a special menu, including 10 traditional wings, 10 boneless wings, 10 smoked wings, Buffalo Chicken sandwich, Buffalo Chicken salad and Hooters burger. hooters.com
It’s a steal
Thanks to Mookie Betts stealing a base in Game 1 of the World Series, America gets to crunch on a freebie. On Nov. 1, stop by Taco Bell to pick up a totally free Doritos Locos Taco from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. No purchase necessary, but limit one per person. For convenience, you can also “steal” yours online and pick up the complimentary taco at any location throughout the day. Expect long lines, given the Doritos Locos Taco is one of the chain’s most popular menu items. tacobell.com/stealataco
