While at work earlier today, I was doing my daily “Googling” for one of the many strange questions I need answered a day. When I pulled up the Google homepage, I discovered that Google was celebrating the invention of the barcode. How fun! Well, since I work at a place that has a Point of Sale terminal, I decided to print out the Google homepage and scan the barcode. The barcode that was scanned did, to my surprise, produced the error that ,”The Item Google Is Not On File.”
This is where I will be posting the current Twitter Lotto Jackpot. If you don’t have any idea as to what the Twitter Lotto is, click here. Keep checking back for updates as to what the jackpot is up to!
Starting Jackpot: $0
October 6, 2009: $162.10
That’s right, you can actually have a shot to win money using Twitter. There’s no form you need to fill out, no entry fee or anything! The only catch is you have to follow a particular user. That’s it! After that, you don’t even have to RT or write any posts… You just sit back and wait for the drawing.
Yes, I said the drawing. It is actually a lottery service for twitter. The Twitter Lotto is having an actual drawing for one follower to win the jackpot. As it stands now, the jackpot is at $162.10, and it is sure to grow by the time the winner is picked. The lottery ends Christmas Day (December 25, 2009), and for one lucky Twitter user, you will be receiving a very nice Christmas present.
The jackpot is actually determined by the worth of The Twitter Lotto’s website. As the website grows in popularity, the jackpot will grow as well. When the winner is selected he or she will receive a paid flight to Calgary, AB to collect his or her winnings in the form of a certified check. A handsome Christmas gift and a free trip to Calgary for just following somebody on Twitter… Not bad at all!
