Huge Money Giveway on SC Day

[Ara Davies]

Because I, Ara Davies, am both rich and feeling generous, I have decided to do a major giveaway of SIM cash money on SC Day. After each SC race on Friday of Week 16, I will be giving away $100,000 in SIM money to a random player in the SIM chat. When I say random, I mean stuff like "who is the fifth person on the list of chatters with a D in their name" or "who is the second person from this point on to say the word 'horse'", stuff like that. Maybe I will roll a 20 sided die. None of this nonsense like "this winner is whoever can tell me how many times the Steward brushed her teeth this week". There will be no questions or trivia at all! The only rules of the contest:

1. You must have less than $500,000 in SIM money at the time your name is picked. If the first person we pick out doesn't qualify, we'll go back and try again, etc.

2. If you win once in the day, you cannot win again.

3. You must be in chat! If after a particular race there is nobody in chat who qualifies, the very next person who comes into the chat and actually communicates with us (and is eligible) will win the prize! The "actually communicates with us" rule is to eliminate people who pop in for fifteen seconds then pop right back out without speaking. You must INTERACT TO WIN!

Jolene Danner will be helping me choose the winners since I will not be able to be in the chat for much of the day. I may designate an additional player or two to help if necessary.

Money will not be distributed until sometime during the break since the Steward will have to do that by hand.

Note that with 22 (or whatever) SC races that day, that's a total giveaway of $2,200,000! (or whatever)

Be there or be poor! (or possibly rich if you already are rich; I don't see how anything I do can cause Eric to be poor)

Aaaaand for the third year in a row, I am giving away a lot of money on SC day! $2 million, spread out across the twenty SC races or whatever! Rules are same as before, check the first post.

Before anyone asks, if you win, you will get your money when Em gets around to distributing it. You do not need to send me a horse or whatever. It may take a few days or weeks to distribute but you will get it, I promise.
