A fortune cookie for sale

Getting a fortune.
The Fortune Cookie is a food item in New Leaf. It can be bought from Nookling Stores for 2 Play Coins each, which can be earned with the Nintendo 3DS's pedometer. After the fortune cookie is eaten, the player will read out its fortune, and the slip can be exchanged for a piece of merchandise if it is brought to Timmy or Tommy. Most of the prizes are items that were available via DLC or the points system in previous games. There are currently 57 fortune tickets; 5 of which (#4, #6, #16, #30 and #38) are duds, and the player will receive a normal, random furniture item instead of a special item. Some fortunes may be actual sayings from previous Nintendo games, such as #35 and #9.
During some months, some limited sale items are added to the rotation of items, such as the firework items during the month of August and Glow Wands during the month of December. As a result, there may be only one, or no cookies for sale on any day.
In Pocket Camp
Fortune Cookies can also be brought from the market in Pocket Camp. Once you unlock the market and go to Tommy's stall, you can purchase fortune cookies. Some fortune cookies contain furniture, while others contain clothing based on the cookie. Upon eating, the player will be rewarded with a random item. Fortune cookies that cost 50 Leaf Tickets, are special event cookies that sometimes sell for 5,000 . Event cookies may reward the player with a specific item in the set that unlocks a memory with their villagers. However, event cookies are in the stall for a limited time but may be reissued in the future. Cookies can be purchased in singles or bulks of five. Those who subscribe to the pocket camp club can receive benefits that include the cookie depot plan, which allows the player to select any 5 cookies they wish.
Stamp cards will be filled each time the player purchases a cookie. After 10 stamps to complete the card the player can exchange it for any of the limited items that are available. One stamp card would mean that they can trade it for any 3-star item, 5 stamp cards would let them trade it for any 4-star item, and 10 stamp cards would mean they could exchange it for a 5-star item.

Trivia
- If a fortune cookie is fed to Dr. Shrunk, he will eat the fortune along with the cookie.
- Many of the items won are from Balloons or Nook's Point-Tracking-System in the earlier games.
- Fortune #4 is most likely a losing ticket due to the number 4 being unlucky in Japan, as it is read as "shi", which is the word for death.
- Fortune #34 is a reference to Captain Falcon's famous taunt from the Super Smash Bros. series: "Show me your moves!"
- Fortune #51 is an apparent reference to the lackluster commercial performance of the Wii U and its eventual positive turnaround in public perception.
- There were only 50 fortunes before the Welcome amiibo update.
- Due to the new law against certain lootboxes in the Netherlands and Belgium, Pocket Camp is no longer available to Belgium users as of August 27th 2019. This is due to the lootbox-like mechanics that Fortune Cookies have, especially since they can be easily bought as in-app purchases.
