Daily Chance

Daily Chance was released in 2006, possibly due to numerous users asking for free stuff in the Site Feedback forum.

Mechanics
On each of Gaia's landing pages an animated image of a vending machine with items inside appears on the right side of the banner; upon clicking it the user receives a gift. Gifts range from games items, to small amounts of gold, to shop items, to Daily Chance-only items. In the majority of the time prizes are of little value depending on ones personal preference of the prize received.

Daily Chance Items
Note that this is just a brief list of items that can be found exclusively in the Daily Chance, as the possibilities of items are vast.

Glitches

 * When first released, it gave out many unreleased flowers (presumably from unreleased Gaia Towns regions), as well as rare fish. These items were turned into crumpled newspaper by the admins, but the rare fish masks that were made before this happened were not changed.
 * A sneak peak of the Monthly Collectible Mini UFO was revealed a few hours early, some users receiving one pose of it from Daily Chance. Good luck finding evidence for it, though. Fleep cleaned up after causing this glitch.

Trivia

 * The URL for Daily Chance has dailycandy in it.
 * During Halloween in 2007, it was named Daily Scare. The vending claw was a spider, and some items shown inside the machine changed: one of Jack's Grab Bags from 2005, a moving red beetle and a Ghosty that would disappear and then reappear replaced some of the usual items.
