This is my sixth Prime Day as a deals editor, and with each event, I get pickier and pickier about which deals end up in my own shopping cart. I've learned that many of the best Prime Day deals do eventually come back around. However, every so often there's a true Golden Ticket item. Last Prime Day, I was lucky enough to score it, and this Prime Day you might have a shot at it, too. 

The deal: 60% off an Amazon Fire TV 50" 4K smart TV. This discount is so popular (and so good) that last year it sold out in under 3 minutes. This go-around, Amazon is trying to spread the wealth around by offering the discount as invite-only. Essentially, you need to enter a lottery to even get a chance at buying this TV. But let me tell you: it's worth it.

Why buy the Amazon Fire TV

Look, I'm a home & kitchen editor, not a tech editor, so if you're looking for the best TV you can buy, you'll probably want to check out our Prime Day TV live blog. Our tech editors are hard at work bringing you the very best discounts on the best TVs they've tested. 

But, if you're like me, and you just want a solid, cheap option for streaming The Great British Baking Show, the Amazon Fire TV will meet all your needs. The TV is already linked up for streaming, so you don't need a special device to access Netflix or Hulu. The picture quality is great, and the size is perfect for a standard living room. It comes with a simple and effective remote that also has voice capabilities — just in case you really don't have the patience to scroll through all the "L" TV shows to find Love Island.

The TV also has plenty of ports for hooking up any video game consoles you might have. We have a PS4, Nintendo Switch, and a Steam Deck connected to ours, and it's easy to switch between them. I'd say this is a great deal for the casual TV watcher, and also a solid option if you're looking to outfit a short-term rental for cheap.

Enter the lottery

Look, I'm not here to tell you how to live your life, but I am here to tell you the best deals to buy, and this one is top tier — probably the best deal available all Prime Day. I say, take your chances, enter the lottery. You might come out with a killer TV for an awesome discount. And if you're like me, every time you look at your new TV, you'll be reminded of your smart purchasing decision and stellar luck.

So this is a little odd. Over the weekend, I saw a new TV spot for The Marvels and was struck by something: it was almost completely devoid of Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) and Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris), both of whom were massive, massive parts of the previous two trailers released for the film. Instead, this clip…
