Yep, I'm running late. As per usual 
I decided (as I think I've done once or twice in the past) to set a countdown timer on this post for 24 hours, so that when it runs out, you can expect the Official Results to be posted soon after.
And as always, a HUGE THANK YOU also to everyone who contributed to this month's Hive Power Up Day, either through powering up, posting, offering prizes, or spreading the word. And while last month I broke my forgetful streak and managed to do my usual shout out for 
Now to break it all down, we had 112 qualifying entries for the prize pool (compared to 114 in April) with 188 total entries (again the same as 188 last month) and 202 posts with either the #HivePUD, #HPUD, and/or #HispanicHPUD tags on the first (last month we had 210).
For the overall number, the power ups ranged from 1.549 to 4,319.062 Hive Power for a grand total of...
21,570.540 Hive Powered Up!
By comparison, the total in April was 35,522.177. While it seems like a large difference, if you factor in that 
The Lists
Here is the UNOFFICIAL winners list for May 1st. If you spot any errors, or your powerup/post was somehow overlooked, please shout out as soon as possible.
The OFFICIAL written-in-stone list will be out tomorrow after the countdown timer on this post expires (since today is the 7th and as I said at the top of the post, I'm running late 😜) and at that time the sponsors can award their prizes. The complete list is in my announcement & welcome to Power Up Day post, and will be included in the official results as well.
Again as always, special thanks to my numbers guy
PLEASE NOTE
This list only includes those who powered up & posted about #HivePUD and/or #HPUD on the 1st, and met the criteria (reputation between 39 and 69 before powering up; Hive Power between 100 and 8000 prior to the 1st), and posted using the tag(s) so they qualify for prizes. I don't assign placement numbers until the official list is posted, and I've added a separate list below this one for those who posted & powered up, but their accounts were either too big/too small in their Hive Power or Reputation to qualify for the usual monthly prize pool.

Participants who don't qualify for prizes
(but qualify as amazeballs because
they participated anyway!❤️
which inspired me in August 2021 to start offering a small but special prize pool for these folks)
Thanks again to everyone for making this #HivePUD monthly event such an amazing success! I'm so proud to be a member of this wicked awesomesauce community!
