BitBall Jackpot Winner!!

Well it took 4 months but it finaly happened. A lucky bitball player won the jackpot! We have had lots of 2-ball and 3-ball winners, but this is the first 4-ball jackpot winner. The current jackpot was at 66 bitcoins. This means some lucky one of you just won $18,220 USD. Congradulations! The Jackpot has been reset to 15 bitcoins and is ready for the next big winner.

I know some of you are very scepitcal and might think this is a shill post to promote bitall, bo I am posting the transaction ID of the payment. I also hope the winner will post in this thread and verify he/she recieved the funds.

Bitball was supposed to provide donations to Tor and other darknet services that needed it. We have not been doing a very good job of this because our profit weren't keeping up witht he increase in jackpot. In other words we weren't selling enought tickets. I hope this post can help change this.

Please buy bitball tickets with your extra bitcoins. The price of a ticket is only 0.01 BTC and can be purchased at

Stay Safe,
GramsAdmin

Hey guys, I'm the jackpot winner. I've been buying BB tickets for a while, and like any lottery I usually lost. After last night's drawing, I kept refreshing and then I had to change my underwear after seeing the results.

Grams provides some badass services, and I hope he never stops!

Now, I'm off to look for some toys to buy.

I hope the winner post in here. I just checked an old email account (the one I forgot to change on bitball's contact page) and saw an email from him asking about his winnings. I told him they had been sent and to please post in here. I bet he is a little busy celebrating though.

Wow... That's crazy. I'm thinking it's time to start playing with the extra BTC I always end up with after an order! I'd love to see the winner post here, he/she is probably so fucking psyched.

Bitball requires over a 100 people to play a drawing to make money, just wondering has bitball been making money for the Tor project?

There was I. Just minding my own business, having a quick read of reddit after getting in from the shops.

"Bitball Jackpot Winner!!"

"OK...Some self-promoting scammer is announcing the winner of a prize draw - on the darknet, where the winner, the selection method and the prize are completely unverifiable" I thought. "I'm intrigued. I suppose it won't hurt to take a quick look"

"Oh. I'm confused. I thought Grams / Helix were legit? Nothing depends on trust quite as much as a bitcoin tumbling / mixing service. Even complaints made by throwaway accounts can hurt them, if there are enough of them over a sustained period. And throwaways have zero credibility!"

"Winning a competition you never entered is something that old people fall for. Could this be Nigerian?". So I had a look for a tell-tale spelling mistake, because a real competition winner press announcement wouldn't have one.

"I know some of you are very scepitcal and might think this is a shill post to promote bitall, bo I am posting the transaction ID of the payment"

A couple of typos there, (and misspelling "BitBall" doesn't auger well), but it doesn't feel Nigerian somehow. You WOULD expect people to be skeptical though, wouldn't you? Because the person who runs Grams Helix wouldn't try to prove a competition winner with a bitcoin transaction ID between two anonymous bitcoin addresses.

Everybody seems to be lapping it up, telling Grams he rocks. They must be familiar with the workings of this ball-based bitcoin raffle, and have seen a youtube video of the machine which selected this - "the first 4-ball winner".

"Smells like bullshit, Redbook. But let it slide. Don't say anything"

I tried. I really did. Only......

......I really wish "gramsadmin" hadn't just casually ended with "Stay Safe"

"exit-scam-from-the-beginning" vendors always say something creepy like "stay safe" or "be careful, people" at the end of their profile. Its meant to reassure you that the two of you are on the same side against the bad guys. Kinda like the police Sergent in "Hill Street Blues" who says "Be careful out there, people".

Its a darknet psychopath "tell", that is about as reassuring as adding the words "to DIE for" to the end of any sentence. In a Dr Evil voice. Followed by a little chuckle.

"Is that an EVIL petting zoo, Scott?"

Its probably nothing. I'm sure that when you visit Grams, you will like it so much that (...pause) YOU WILL WANT TO STAY (...pause, followed by a little laugh) FOREVER.....

So it's $3 per ticket and if you happen to get 3/4 numbers right you get your $3 back? 1 in 8,127 chance.

Not how a lottery works in my limited knowledge, or am I missing something?
