I got it 3 times... I have a feeling that the notification files got mucked up somehow for certain players, so it may have been regional or possibly even a device error.

The reason I think it was the notification file is that I kept getting all of the splash screens for sales on cars and currency shown to me multiple times. This never usually happens. It usually only shows up when it triggers and then you don't see the splash screen again.

The regional possibility is that FM has the ability to push the notification files out to players at any time, with any changes that they want. It isn't likely that they use a single server in Oz. They likely push to regional servers that push to the players, so if a server in a region kept pushing the file and the game kept updating, it may explain why there were multiple Racer's Choices, and also repeats of splash screens.

Also remember that this happened over the turn of the year. If there was a bug in how their server software handles dates it could have caused the files to resend incorrectly. I was watching a live stream on YouTube and at exactly midnight, the feed froze and the sound from the last frame kept repeating. Similar thing probably happened here.

The other possibility is that something on your(my) device got confused, and it kept sending requests to the server for the valid notification file.
