"Instant Win Prizes" with no Unlocked prizes yet "Instant Win Prizes" with 1 Unlocked Prize
Instant Win Prizes with 2 Unlocked Prizes

GRAB-A-GOLD Pack, cannot spin unless they were able to acquire Globe Gold thru successful registration.
What happens to prizes that have already been won?
* Special prizes that are no longer available (ex: 10 iPad 2s were seeded and all 10 have already been won) will be marked as “no longer available”. If a special prize is "no longer available", these will be removed from the list of possible prizes and can no longer be unlocked.
* For players that had already unlocked said items, they can no longer be won. Gold spent for that item can be transferred to unlock other special prizes that remain available. Gold spent cannot be refunded, it can only be transferred. And only in the case above.
