To make sure it doesn't come true just get ride of it.

To discourage cheaters who might press the stamp 4 times and get their prize each checkpoint has it's own creative stamp showing Hello Kitty in various positions. Every place presents it's own unique challenges and adventure for those willing to take in the experience. Luckily we can enjoy these creative stamps of Hello Kitty doing such cute things!
