Cranston Woman Wins Free Pats Tix On 12-12-12

On a cold, sunny 12-12-12 morning, Tracy Lane walked into the Reservoir Avenue Dunkin Donuts and ordered 12 donuts.

Moments later, she was ambushed by Pat the Patriot, Patriots cheerleaders and the Dunkin' Donuts Prize Patrol and surprised with the sudden gift of a Tom Brady (No. 12) jersey and two tickets to Sunday's New England Patriots game.

The gift came thanks to Dunkin' Donuts' plan to celebrate today, December 12, 2012, by surprising customers at 12 of its Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts locations.

The prize patrol handed the tickets to the first customer they saw with a dozen donuts starting in Warwick around 7:15 a.m. and ending in Dartmouth, Mass., around 11:15 a.m.

The prize patrol was at the Reservior Avenue Dunkin' at 7:50 a.m.

12-12-12 (or 12/12/12) is the last repeating date most of us will see in our lifetimes. Unless, of course, you're considering celebrating 1/23/45 or 1/2/34 and plan to be around then.

The Dec. 12 date has also compelled many couples to get married today. Do you know somene doing something unique or special to mark today's unique date?
