So you're telling me there is a chance .... my luck in the SSG-Community Raffle

The monster raffle for @ssg-community

That's right, I had a chance. Thanks to the generosity of @thedamus for letting his followers earn raffle tickets for signing up using his affiliate links I was able to earn three raffle tickets... the last three numbers were all of mine. 742, 743, 744. That's right, three chance out of 744 a whopping .4%... but a chance I had. There were some of the awesome prizes donated by the community members.

While I knew my chances were slim, I thought it would be fun to jump on the live discord voice channel and listen along as they announced the winners. Things started off with a bang for 5oz and just went on from there. I spent a few minuets looking at the the donations, making a few notes in the off chance I actually won. There were hand pours from members, graded proofs, 3oz lots, Steem rounds, so much variety.

Then lighting struck, think it was the 11th number drawn.. they actually drew 744... the original prize was the Prospector round that from @willsparks88 that @silverstackeruk was lusting over. I decided to let it go, and grab the very generous 3oz buffalo package from @vgholdingsllc

Then serendipity happened, the next number drawn belonged to @silverstackeruk, and he quickly snatched up the prospector round!!!! It couldn't have worked out better!

You can see all the lucky winners here congrats to all the winners. Thank you all who donated to the raffles. This is a great community of stackers!

Stack On!

Yeah man!!! I love this! So happy that your ref code prize turned into 3 ounces of Ag! And perhaps even more ironically, you won silver from the dude who won mine!
⚡️✨🍆🕺✨⚡️😎👍

Thanks man, it all went full circle that night.

Awesome sauce flying everywhere! Lofl!

Awesome. I'm just getting back into internet coverage. I'll contact you on discord for your info.

Take you time - your trip look relaxing. Better than my work trip!

Congrats on the win, the raffle was a blast last night.

It was way more fun listening to the live raffle than I thought. The drama of winning and swapping prizes and seeing so many online was great.

That was a great choice @senstless! Congrats on the win!!

Thanks - I was incredibly lucky, and it out of character for me!

This was a great pickup! Since it was a late addition to the prize pool, I didn't see it when I was flying through making my short list. I was looking for weight to add to my stack, so this would have been right up there at the top of my pick list when one of my numbers was drawn 6th.

Enjoy your rewards!!

Honestly, my initial notes had a Steem Round, and @Pit-bullion rounds noted as things to target. It wasn't until you went for two oz that I realized there were any options bigger than 1oz.

I went back though was was shocked to see the 3oz lot. I figure it was the way the description was written that was a bit off, and hid the fact it was some serious weight. I had to double check the post to make sure it was for 3oz. Couldn't believe it slipped to me and I snatched that up quick! Congrats on your win too!
