The very first time the pin was out (back in late February, I believe), there was a race game that lasted a couple of hours. A couple of hours after the race was done, a teleporter "game" opened...and instead of the typical host pin of the month, the prize was the racing pin. That was when I got my pin. When it was "race day" again, I don't remember if a race game opened, but I do remember another teleporter game where the pin was again the racing pin. That's how I got my second one. Sounds like they just tried to do the race game today rather than a teleporter game, but that the lag prevented it from working properly...and hence, a winning teleporter was opened.
