It sounds sweet—the combination of chocolate bars and free playoff tickets. That was Buoy’s mission Saturday, and if you were one of the first four fans to spot the Kraken mascot out in the wild, then you hit the jackpot.

"I saw it, as soon, as it popped up, and I was like, ‘I can make that,’ and sprinted over here," said Matt Nardoni, another ticket winner. "I feel ecstatic, I’m still kind of shaky, I got so nervous, I saw a crowd of people, and I was like, ‘I don’t know if I’ve made it on time.
