Sounds like it was just a raffle. $250 for a 1 in 1,000 chance to win a prize worth ~$8,125. Happens all the time in school fundraisers and other community events. Of course they didn’t need to use a blockchain or cryptocurrency to hold a simple raffle, but here we are.
Also in a raffle they usually just tell you when you’ve won.
Better odds and potential return dollar for dollar than the lottery, though.
- knorker 5y agoBut a raffle doesn't have the copyright infringement. You can't make a bunch of copies of a Disney movie but with the ending cut off, and have them be the "losing" consolation prizes.
- nkrisc 5y agoRight, it’s a raffle with more steps and dubious legality. Seems unnecessary when a regular raffle would have sufficed, but I suppose that wouldn’t have got attention.
- knorker 5y agoIt's clever, and is in itself art that makes you think. Ideally they'd first make a deal with the copyright holder to not sue. But I like it.
