What is a Lucky Box and why is there one at the Pentagon? [View all]

The Pentagon is the headquarters of the most powerful military in the world, and now it’s also a place where you can try to win sports cards and other collectible items from a Lucky Box machine.

On Christmas Eve, the company that makes the vending machines announced on social media that a Lucky Box is now inside the Pentagon.

“A place built on legacy, leadership, and history — now experiencing the thrill of Lucky Box firsthand,” Lucky Box Vending posted on Threads. “This is a milestone moment for Lucky Box and we are excited for this opportunity.”

Pentagon spokeswoman Sue Gough confirmed that a Lucky Box machine has been operating in the building’s main food court since Dec. 23. No further information about the machine was immediately available.
