Well, for those lucky few who live in one of ten of those lucky areas (as will follow), you may get a chance to hit one hell-of-a Beatles jackpot.

Many already know Best Buy will be hosting their own Beatles event on 9.9.9. This is what might not have known...

"On 9/9/09, the festivities kick off at 8 a.m. Prizes and memorabilia giveaways, including gadgets, exclusive Beatles’ t-shirts, [and] The Beatles: Rock Band game will occur throughout the day. In addition, customers are eligible to win a one-year Reward Zone Premier Silver membership with benefits including special access to sought after entertainment events...

One winner from each of the participating stores “will be whisked away to London, England for an all-expense-paid trip, where they will tour EMI’s famed Abbey Road Studios, where The Beatles recorded their albums.”

In addition, winners will be taken on a walking Magical Mystery Tour including:
