What an awesome surprise from 
Hive account@aggroed! I’ve been away on vacation and haven’t been active on Steemit or SteemMonsters. During vacation, I logged on to https://steemmonsters.com briefly and received this gift notification.
Your eyes are not playing tricks on you. The numeric value on the top right corner says 100.
How did I end up with this big win?!
Before I left on vacation, I read Hive account@aggroed’s post on reaching a $10k market day in Steem Monsters and max-leveling his common cards. Congratulations 
Hive account@steemmonsters team and Hive account@aggroed! At the end of his post, he added a sneaky contest.
Back as a newbie, I used to enter many contests. It was the best way to meet others and earn rewards. I don’t enter many contests anymore because others need more support, but since I had planned on commenting with my congratulations to Hive account@aggroed, I thought, why not enter too? I never expected to win. Honest truth. In fact, I don’t remember seeing Hive account@aggroed mentioning me in any post that I had won. I only found out when I saw the gift notification on steemmonsters.com.
Thank you so much Hive account@aggroed! I appreciate the support both you and 
Hive account@yabapmatt have shown to the community on both your personal accounts, Hive account@steemmonsters account, and the curation accounts you support (
Hive account@postcurator and 
Hive account@msp-curation).
Gotta love the Sneaky Contests!
Steem Monsters is truly a community of sharing and generosity. Let me give you another reason why I am a big fan of the community. I was fortunate to win the contest from Hive account@aggroed and am very appreciative!
Another fill-in the text contest was held by Steem Monsters co-founder Hive account@yabapmatt on his Tech Talk 5 post for the non-techie readers. The prize was 10 STEEM for the funniest text.
My friend entered the contest and was thrilled to have won. As it turned out, everyone who entered was a winner!
Yes, gotta love the contests and the community support from Steem Monsters founders Hive account@aggroed and Hive account@yabapmatt!
Small contest of my own
In an effort to pay-it-forward, I will host a small contest of my own. I will NOT be sending from the booster packs gifted to me. The boosters packs for my contest will be purchased and sent directly to the winners. In fact, I have yet to open the packs from Hive account@aggroed. Please, no peeking and ruining my surprise! I'm waiting for the return of a semblance of routine from vacationhood before opening the packs.
❤️ Prize 🎖: (5) Booster Packs for anyone new to Hive account@steemmonsters, has never received a booster pack or has yet to purchase a starter pack. Simply comment below if you are new.
Five individuals will win one booster pack each.
❤️ Prize 🎖: (5) Booster Packs for writing in the comments below why you DO or DO NOT support the two witnesses behind Hive account@steemmonsters (witnesses Hive account@aggroed and Hive account@yabapmatt).
Five individuals will win one booster pack each.
I'm curious as to why people do/do not support the witness team behind Hive account@steemmonsters. I have seen more community support from them than some of the other top witnesses. So share your reasons!
Here are my reasons:
I support Hive account@yabapmatt because I see his community support to others either on his personal account, Hive account@steemmonsters, or via his Hive account@postcurator account.
Even though I support the community effort of Hive account@steemmonsters, I didn't give my vote to Hive account@aggroed since he is already a top witness. He didn't need my small support. A few days ago I updated my witness list. I realized then I support Tim Cliff who is also a top witness! So my reason for not voting for Hive account@aggroed didn't make sense to me. I rectified my witness support to Hive account@aggroed yesterday. Every vote matters, small or large!
💛 Contest winners will be randomly selected. One prize per person. In the past, I used the web tool: https://www.miniwebtool.com/random-picker/. I may make a video recording my kiddo's hand selecting the winners from a hat. We'll see! 😄
💜 Payout: Prize will occur at the end of this post’s payout.
Many thanks to Hive account@aggroed for the booster packs!
