Wouldn’t you freak out if you were playing one of those skill claw machine games at arcades and one of the toys inside came to life! It happened in real life recently at Family Fun Center in Duncansville, PA. And it was a GROUNDHOG! Hmm, Punxsutawney Phil lives just up the road there, could it have been him?! Looks like the little critter was either looking for a cozy place to take a nap or perhaps was searching for his twin. Luckily authorities were able to get the groundhog out of the machine safely without harming him. My only question is did they use the claw and skill to do it! I’ve spent hundreds (probably thousands) of dollars in my lifetime playing these claw machine games, so I know a little about their dirty secrets. You see, each machine has the ability for the claw to be adjusted. It can either have a firm or loose grip. So for those that have played these games and wonder why you rarely win, it’s because some of the owners are greedy and DON’T want you to win! Even though many of their toys/prizes inside only cost them about 50 cents each! Trust me, they’re making a profit~
