I am fully aware that this game does not fit the theme of this year's Valentine's Day Event but here in Texas, USA, we are experiencing unusual winter weather (It's snowing In February!) which inspired this game. (Nyah ha ha ha!)
I hope everyone and their loved ones are staying warm and safe if you are living in an area that's being affected by this unusual weather.
1. You may shovel snow as many times as you like but you can only win prizes THREE (3) times a day.
2. Generate a Random Number Between 1 to 50.
3. A truck carrying a supply of prize tokens passed through this area a short while ago and a box of the tokens fell off the back of the truck. Therefore, sometimes while shovelling snow, you will find a prize token with a number on it. The following numbers are winning numbers:
1 -
5 -
10 -
15 -
20 -
24 -
25 -
30 -
35 -
40 -
42 -
45 -
50 -
5. Good luck and have fun! There can be more than one winner for each of these prizes / winning numbers because I have more than one of each item. Please quote me when you win to get my attention.

Snow Shoveling for Heart Patients and Proper Technique for Shovelling Snow: (This is NOT merely for Heart Patients but also for those of us who are not used to shovelling snow)
gaia_diamond Warm up, do some light exertion to dilate the blood vessels and get the heart rate slightly elevated before really “digging out”
gaia_diamond Dress appropriately in layers, when you feel warm take layers off. Preventing overheating from being overdressed is as important as dressing for the cold. Your heart works harder to cool your body down. Sweating excessively will lead to being cold later.
gaia_diamond Do not eat a large meal or smoke prior to shoveling, these divert the blood flow away from the heart and exercising muscles.
gaia_diamondPush the snow don’t lift if you can.
gaia_diamondExhale on Exertion. Breath out when pushing or lifting, don’t hold your breath!!!! Holding breath increases blood pressure even further than the cold and exercise already has.
gaia_diamond Switch sides keep alternating the shovel in left and right hand. The constant twist to one side produces muscle injury and can be hard to distinguish between muscles and heart. Muscle pain can reproduced with touch or movement, where as heart pain cannot be set of by touch.
gaia_diamond Take breaks, listen to your body don’t over do it. The body constricts blood flow to the skin to conserve heat, which also raises blood pressure.
gaia_diamond Stay fit enough to shovel snow. If you don’t exercise regularly you are not strong enough to shovel wet heavy snow. The cardiovascular demands are even more due to excessive cold temperatures. Train for snow shoveling by performing aerobic exercise and resistance training.
