A pill dispenser for storing and dispensing pills is disclosed. The pill dispenser includes a container and a funnel inserted in the container. The pill dispenser includes a tunnel having a tunnel channel. The tunnel inserts in the funnel. The pill dispenser includes a base connecting the funnel. The base has a pill discharging hole and a slot opening. The pill dispenser includes a stick member, and a drawer having a drawer channel. The base receives the drawer through the slot opening, and the drawer connects to the stick member. The container stores pills and the funnel receives the pills. The tunnel rotates to stir the pills such that a pill falls through the tunnel channel. The tunnel channel aligns with the drawer channel and positions the pill in the drawer channel. The drawer presses into the base causing the drawer channel to align with the pill discharging hole to discharge the pill via the pill discharging hole.

A candy dispenser include a dispenser housing having a dispenser housing opening, a candy reservoir within the dispenser housing having a candy reservoir chute aligned with the dispenser housing opening, and a dispenser shield disposed within the dispenser housing and movable so that a dispenser shield opening can align with the dispenser housing opening and the candy reservoir chute at a dispensing position to dispense a candy piece. An indeterminate outcome actuation mechanism with an actuation mechanism input device causes the dispenser shield to move between the dispensing position and at least one non-dispensing position when the actuation mechanism input device is displaced such that the dispenser shield may be disposed in any one of the dispensing position and the non-dispensing positions when the actuation mechanism input device is displaced so that a candy piece may or may not be dispensed each time.
