Enter to win!! Winner takes ALL! 100% of the STEEM Jackpot collected goes to the winner!! Yes you heard that right! 100%!!!

I HOPE THIS STEEMIT LOTTO HELPS NEW STEEMIANS TO GET A HEAD START WITH THEIR ACCOUNTS. ITS TOTALLY RANDOM AND WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH THE JACKPOT WILL BE EACH WEEK!

How to enter? Simple.

Just Send 1 STEEM to @donnaincancun your host of Steemit Sweepstakes Lotto! Memo steemit-lotto (Amounts over 1 STEEM will be considered a donation and will not be refunded.)

Only ONE entry per account!

You MUST Upvote this post. I will check.

OPTIONAL:

Follow if you want to stay informed and not miss each weeks Lotto (not mandatory)

Re-Steem if you want more people to enter (the more entries the bigger the prize pot at the end of the week!) Again not mandatory.

Lotto runs from Monday (once posted around noon EST) to Friday (midnight, EST). Winner announced every Sunday! STEEM JACKPOT deposited to their account!

All usernames of each STEEM sent will go into a prize draw and a winner will be selected at random on video each Sunday.

EXCITING STUFF RIGHT??!!!

The fine print:

Okay so I'm sure you guys would like to know how this will be regulated. I have already sent my request for a new alt account @steemit-lotto so that this Lotto will be completely separate from my regular blog. This is to ensure fairness and the most simple way to keep tabs on the contest. Very simple a number of STEEM will come in each week from the same number of entries. 100STEEM means 100 people entered, 250STEEM means 250 people entered. These names will be typed to a spreadsheet. This you will all be able to see when the entries close after each Friday as I will post it sometime saturday and anyone that wants to check the blockchain and list is more than welcome to. (Hence the separate account)

I will then print these names and cut them into separate entries. Fold them and add them to a bowl/bag where the winner will be picked randomly by someone different (probably a tourist I met by the pool!) each week! This will be recorded for you to see that it is 100% fair!

100% to the winner … so what's in it for me?

Well upvoting the post when you send the STEEM is a MUST! Entries will not be accepted if the post is not upvoted. Im thinking this may end up quite time consuming. This SBD I will choose what to do with it. Now I'm a giver so I intend to put a lot of it back into Steemit in the form of rewards for other contests. I also host Steemit Talent Contest as I'm sure most of you are aware of. I'd really like to increase the prizes!

Now the Steempower that this alt account will accumulate will be a different story. I have something very special in mind for this. Its called the Golden Ticket!!! This is basically a 100% UPVOTE for a minnow account (with reputation under 45) that is a great contributor to the Steemit community and is perhaps not getting the rewards they deserve right now.

To nominate someone for the golden ticket will be simple like posting a link in comments and a small description as why you think they should receive the upvote. Now this will take a while to be able to launch as first off the account needs to gain some power! It will be starting from ZERO!

This brings me to my last point. Donna why dont you just wait for the alt account to launch the Steemit Lotto?

Well firstly I want people to realize that there is a face behind this Lotto. It is not some scam to take your well earned STEEM and run! And yes sadly we have seen a few of those. You can check for yourself my reputation and contribution to the Steemit community.

Secondly I would like my followers to have an opportunity to get behind this and give it a welcome boost.

Its designed for you!

I really hope the community likes my idea and supports it. Unlike contests you have nothing to do other than send 1 STEEM and click upvote! How easy could it be?! Now having said that I want to build it as a community to help new Steemians get ahead. I see the Golden Ticket as similar to National Lottery grants. Giving back to the community. I am aware that there have been similar lotto style things on Steemit in the past and that most of them are somewhat frowned upon by the Steemit community as they fail to contribute to the community.

This is why im launching this with a different purpose and thats why 100% goes to the winner, SP will upvote minnows producing great posts and SBD will be used to support other Steemit projects. Its all about giving a chance to minnows to boost their accounts!

Thats all from me for now. Good Luck!!!! 🍀
