Congratulations! You're the one millionth customer of Honest John's Dealership! Or maybe you're the ten thousandth customer of the Malt Shop! As their hundredth/thousandth/millionth/billionth customer, YOU are the lucky person that forms a milestone of their history— and what better way to show their appreciation than to shower you in confetti, fame, and fortune? Since fictional characters Never Win the Lottery, the prize will be something that causes more trouble to the characters than its actually worth. This can occur in the form of conflict over the prize, particularly when a group of persons walked into the store in close succession. Alternately, the impromptu celebration may delay the character from going somewhere important, or the undesired publicity might blow his cover when he needs to remain inconspicuous. This is a Discredited Trope that is never used seriously. How a store could accurately keep count of individual customers' entrances, particularly when they are open to the public and anyone could walk in multiple times, is always ignored. As is the legality of using someone's image for marketing without their consent. May come with a Year's Supply Prize. |

One Supernatural episode involves a rabbit's foot that grants increasingly good luck until it is lost, at which point it grants increasingly bad luck that ends with death. During the good luck run, Sam wins free meals for life at a restaurant. While eating, he loses the foot to a savvy thief. As Sam's luck turns bad, some people are out to kill him—those who can't find him see the press release of his award and know immediately where he is. | |

In the first part of the Married... with Children two-part episode "You Better Shop Around", the Bundys take refuge in the local Foodies supermarket after their cheap air conditioner shorts out power for the entire neighborhood. After being threatened with eviction by the store's owner for loitering, Al cuts in line in front of Marcy in order to buy a stick of gum, surprisingly making him the store's millionth customer and entitling him to a $1,000 shopping spree. Marcy challenges Al's claim since he cut in line, so the owner declares a contest: both the Bundys and the D'Arcys get the shopping spree, but only the first family to finish with $1,000 in groceries gets to keep it. | |

Kitboga is a scambaiter popular on Twitch and YouTube. One of his favorite tactics is to pretend on a call to be a rival scammer named Daniel using his own voice. In "Scammer Wastes Entire Day Expecting My $2,000," a popup has a phone number to call for virus cleaning. Daniel the scammer claims that it's a 1000th customer promotion. | |

It gets subverted when Jack's younger sister Cindy reveals that he's been faking this with various people all week as an excuse to give away snowglobes he hasn't been able to sell. The snowglobe becomes one of the many items that can be set up as a countertop decoration. | |

Trigger Happy TV: They once set up a "Millionth Customer" extravaganza outside an adult bookstore and surprised one of the unsuspecting chaps leaving the shop. Said customer hauled ass rather quickly after that. Another had them set it up outside a public loo. The woman who emerged had a very hard time keeping a straight face while graciously accepting her award and congratulatory bottle of bubbly. Another sketch had them set before they entered the shop, saying they had 60 seconds to pick all the groceries they could and take them away for free. Of course by the time they came back everybody had left. |

The Golden Girls: One episode has Dorothy befriending a man with agoraphobia. She eventually convinces him to leave his apartment and go grocery shopping with her. He's nervous, of course, but does okay until he crosses the store's threshold, where there had apparently been a sensor counting the number of shoppers. Balloons and confetti rain down, lights start flashing, buzzers go off, and a banner reading "10,000th Customer" drops from the ceiling. The manager rushes over to congratulate him and present his prize, but he runs out of the store terrified and holes back up in his apartment, vowing never to leave it again. | |

In How to Marry a Millionaire, a philandering married businessman attempts to drive his would-be paramour into Manhattan, via an out-of-the-way route so that nobody in his social circle will see them. While crossing the George Washington Bridge, the couple are intercepted by a group of motorcycle cops... who led them straight to a waiting crowd of reporters and photographers, ready to publicize them for occupying the five millionth vehicle to cross the bridge. | |

In Amazon Women on the Moon, a boy who goes to a drug store to buy condoms (discreetly) for his date not only wins a prize... but becomes their spokesman, much to his horror. | |

The Tonight Show: One magician was doing tricks disguised as a supermarket cashier. One of his tricks was to declare someone the millionth customer, then take down a large box with the prize. The box would contain exactly what the customer was purchasing. | |

In the Only Fools and Horses episode "The Longest Night", the Trotters are shopping when they're asked to go to the manager's office. They see a sign saying the millionth customer will get a thousand pounds, and assume that's them. Instead, they're accused of shoplifting. And then held hostage along with the manager and store detective by an armed robber. It eventually transpires that this was all a plot by the manager and detective to take the money, with Del, Rodney and Albert as independent witnesses, but went wrong because the robber's watch (bought from Del) was slow, so he missed the safe's time lock. After everything's been resolved with no harm done as long as the Trotters don't spill the beans, Del suggests to the manager that maybe they will turn out to be the millionth customers after all... | |

Pokémon X and Y: When the player first enters the Cyllage City Bike Shop, they are told that they are the ten thousand and first customer. Apparently, if they were the ten-thousandth, they would have gotten a free bike, although they still only have to answer a short quiz to get one anyway. | |

In Kamen Rider Decade, Tsukasa ends up getting a choice of wife, a modeling job, a gig as a manager, and more simply for being an umpteenth customer. Turns out it was all a plot to make him love the world and stay. | |
