Christmas is now just 17 weeks away, so it seems a good time to start the annual Christmas sweepstake after a very successful event last year. A total of 1811 ARK was given to 3 lucky winners last Christmas, I hope we can exceed that figure this year!

The idea of the sweepstake is simple, anyone can predict the price of what 1 (one) ARK coin will be on Christmas day. The cost of 1 prediction is 5ARK. Whoever predicts closest to the price on Christmas day will receive a nice bag of ARK for their Christmas stocking.

The sweepstake will run from the 4th — 30th of September 2018, entries received either side of these date will not be counted.

A Google sheet will be created with everyone’s predictions. Check the link at the bottom of this post to view current predictions.

The 5 ARK coin deposited by Slack users will be held in Escrow by ARK’s very own @lars, and will be sent to the winning wallets on Christmas Day.

For transparency the Escrow address is AVUdzoVh5yRqg3ph9iytpAJnnHiZXx4R5u

Prediction

To make a prediction:

Please Direct Message @pieface in ARK Slack or Discord

I’ll ask for your prediction in USD ($)

I will provide you with the Escrow ARK Sweepstake address for you to send your 5 ARK. At the same time we will provide you with a randomly generated code to be included with your prediction via the Smartbridge field in the ARK Desktop Wallet.

Once your 5 ARK are confirmed via the blockchain we will update the shared Google Sheet with your prediction. For obvious reasons the document will be view only.

No two predictions can be the same, we will advise you if you have a duplicated prediction which you can then amend.
