Hello, SPIers. Many moons ago I was an active user and mod of the #silvergoldstackers community formally known as SteemSilverGold (SSG)back on STEEM. They had an amazing series of MONSTER RAFFLES that they ran for 4 consecutive years on STEEM. Each raffle outgrew the last in terms of both prizes on offer and tickets sold. The raffle prizes were funded by SSG members and the funds collected from selling raffle tickets were put into the community curation bot. It's a nice setup and because community members are donating prizes and all ticket sales are powered up, locked up as HP, it's a win for HIVE as well.
The #silvergoldstackers community has come back with a new MONSTER RAFFLE for HIVE after a 4-year absence. I am writing this from the 
In the past, the raffle draws were live on Discord and this time is not different. The way they worked was if there were 30 prizes, 30 numbers were pulled. Each number was pulled 3-4 minutes apart and in that time, the winner had around 2 minutes to pick any remaining prize they wanted from the donation pool. This meant winning early was best because you could pick the most expensive prizes. If a winner was not online, they were rewarded the next-in-line prize to give away. The whole raffle took 90-120 minutes from start to finish but they were always good fun and felt shorter.
Here is my Donation for Monster Raffle 5 1
Because I am a blast from the past, I decided it would be fitting to make my donation silver a blast from the past as well. I could not decide on silver bar are silver coin so came up with why not both?
If your from back in the STEEM days, you might remember seeing one of these back in 2018. There were 3 STEEM rounds minted between 2017 and 2019 with this one being my favourite design. I call this the Welshie round because its 
So it's 1oz of .999 silver and has never been out of the capsule. Its a nice piece with it being sold out for over 5 years, it gives new members a chance to grab a piece of history. Top pic is back, bottom pic is front.
Next up, we have a hand-poured silver bar from none other than 
Its 80g in weight and poured from .925 silver. Im not sure what it was made from, Monsterjam is a wheeler-dealer so most likely this bar used to be some form of old coinage, a chain, bracket, ring are maybe even cutlery.
What do you think about that? 2 prizes in 1 and shipped to anywhere on Earth from free to the winner.
BUT WAIT...THERE'S MOAR!
The winner will also receive a free SPI merch package. You'll get a mug, couple of pens, SPI playing cards, sticker, magnets and candy!! We get to have the candy in the merch packs.
Heres your Prize ready to be shipped!!
Follow the MONSTER RAFFLE and see all the donated prizes, when tickets are going on sale, how the draw will work in tags #monsterraffle and #silvergoldstackers
I will post again from this account when tickets go for sale. Please share this and get as many eyes on it as possible. It would be nice to see a few HIVE higher-ups support something like this instead of circle-jerking themselves into disconnected zombies.
If the draw falls on the weekend which it normally does, I'll be there with bells on. In the past, as a community mod, I played an active role in each draw so it'll be nice to just take part and be there as a visitor so see old friends and of course, try to win a few prizes.
I hope you enjoyed this, share it some love!
