Pentagon 'temporarily' removes loot box vending machine from food court

The Department of Defense has removed a loot box vending machine from the Pentagon after just a month of operations. A department spokesperson told Task & Purpose on Friday that the Lucky Box Vending machine was “temporarily” moved out of the food hall it has been in since late December.

The machine, where customers would pay money for an unknown item — which could be relatively cheap sports memorabilia or rare “holy grail” collectors’ items worth tens of thousands of dollars — was located inside the Pentagon’s main food hall, Task & Purpose learned, where military personnel and civilian employees could use it. At least, it was.

“The Lucky Box has been temporarily moved pending additional review,” Sue Gough, a department spokesperson, confirmed to Task & Purpose. It’s unclear what the review is about.
