If the escape makes the national news, every code holder gets 100% of the ticket price back in cash.
A giant helium balloon float in the November 26, 2026 Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York breaks free of all its handling lines and leaves the parade route under its own lift, and at least three national outlets (AP, Reuters, The New York Times, CNN, ABC, CBS or NBC) report it by 11:59 PM ET on November 27. A balloon pulled down, deflated or grounded on purpose does not count. Results are emailed to every code holder on or about November 30, win or not.
