Prize Pool #7 - SBD Prize 02/18/18
What is the Prize Pool?
It is a daily sweepstakes that has a few purposes.
- Provide a daily SBD prize to a lucky winner
- Provide funds for 4 jackpot pools paying 10, 25, 50 and 100 SBD
- To have fun!
How do I participate
- Look for the prize pool post daily.
- At the bottom of the page, you will find a question. (very simple for daily pool)
- In a comment to this post, give us your answer.
- Not mandatory, but It’s how we pay for these contests, please upvote and resteem this post.
- Before the post pays out, you will be assigned a number. It will be added as a reply to your post.
- Once the post pays out, we use a random # generator (random.org) to pick the winner.
- Winner will be announced in the next daily post.
How are the jackpot pools handled?
Every daily prize pools earnings are split 5 ways.
Suppose this prize pool post nets 5 SBD in upvotes. Each of the 5 prize pools earns 20% of every prize pool post.
Each prize pool would have 1 SBD added to it if the total SBD payout is 5 SBD.
That means the daily prize pool is paid for completely.
The 10 SBD prize would pay out every 10 days.
The 25 SBD prize pool would pay out every 25 days.
The 50 SBD prize pool would pay out every 50 days.
The 100 SBD prize pool would pay out every 100 days.
Who can enter?
Any member of Steemit can join, but keep in mind only the daily mini will be a sweepstakes. The main SBD prizes will be a contest that requires a little more effort (like making a post). The subjects will be about the homesteading/survival/self-sufficiency/foraging categories. Knowledge in these areas will always be a big plus in the larger prize contests.
Unlike the daily prize sweeps, the large prize contests will require some thought. We are looking for the best of the best. We'll be asking for your ideas on what to do or how to do something specific to the homesteading/survival/self-sufficiency/foraging categories. Knowing little about these categories can be a hindrance to your chances of winning.
Daily accounting
In the post for the daily Mini contests/sweeps, I will include a full accounting of all SBD earned on every post. You can track my numbers just by looking at my Wallet History. I want everything to be open for everyone to see.
What is the daily prize?
1 SBD
How is the winner chosen?
I will assign a number to each entry by commenting on your entry. When the post pays out, I will use a random number generator to choose a number. I will take a screen shot of the number and post it for everyone to see. The owner of that number wins the prize.
When do I get my winnings?
When the winner is announced.
Can the daily prize grow?
Yes, it all depends on how much incoming funds there are. Check the accounting to see where we stand
Note – The first prize pool pays out tomorrow afternoon.
I will do a special payout announcement after it pays out and the winner has been paid.
NOTE: Accounting updates are only accurate to the last payout received. If a payout happens after the new daily post has been made, it will reflect on the next day’s accounting.

Answer the following question in the comments below to enter
What is your favorite vegetable?
Wow, a lot of people saying asparagus! I'm a little shocked, I really don't like it...
I would pick... spinach...
@motordrive you are #6
I've never had it before so I don't know if I like it or not. But soon as I find out how to cook it, I will try it, lol.
Potato
I love potatoes. They use to be one of my favorite foods. But the are NOT good for your blood sugar. One small baked potato is enough to send my BS soaring.
@chetan9 you are #1
Asparagus
@watchfulmomma you are #3
Read my reply to @kiaraantonoviche above. How do you cook it?
I do a simple saute of olive oil & salt until tender-crisp over med heat. Cut them about 2".
Asparagus comes to mind right away, although this could change tomorrow.

Read my reply to @kiaraantonoviche above. How do you cook it?
I'm going to say asparagus but this one is hard to pick. So many good vegetables.
@canadianrenegade you are #5
Cabbage turned into Coleslaw or Sauerkraut!
@beatitudes8 you are #8
Now your talking. I could eat my weight in either. Well, maybe that is stretching it a little but, lol
Depends on what I am in the mood for but asparagus is always good as well as corn on the cob!
Believe it or not, I have never eaten asparagus before. So many people listed it, when I was at the grocery store today, I saw some that looked nice and fresh for $2, so I bought a batch. Now I have to figure out how to cook it, lol.
That's awesome! Try something new ;) I prefer it either steamed or grilled! Simple is best, with a little butter of course!
When buying look for tight flower heads, store upright in an inch of water, before cooking snap the base where it wants to easily snap, cook either a saute, steam or grill until tender crisp.
Some even peel the tough end you snap off which makes it tender enough to eat.
It will make your urine smell a little funky, so don't be alarmed. It is wonderful you should try it!

Green Beans! :)
I have always loved green beans, but never realized how many carbs they have until I went on the Keto diet and started checking labels like crazy. One can has more carbs than I am supposed to eat in an entire day!
@mamajeani you are #7
At least they're 'healthy' carbs! ;)
Cauliflower :)
@james-09aka you are #9
I eat a LOT of cauliflower. Since I can't eat potatoes I use it in dishes as a substitute. Mashed Caulitaters, Augratin Caulitaters, etc., etc.
I should try augratin :)
Green beans!! MMMM!!! :)
@smylie2005 you are #10
I wish I could still eat them. have always loved them.
I see you were on the keto diet! I did that for awhile and had great success... lost 70 pounds! I also didnt pay enough attention to my electrolytes apparently and really screwed up my hormones, Im still working on my cortisol levels. I really enjoyed it while on it though. Im now just trying to take a healthy approach and eat very similar but with added fruits... I guess more of a paleo approach.
Yes, I am still new to the Keto diet but have already lost 10 pounds and my blood sugar is staying almost normal most of the time.
The big thing for me is NO MORE CRAVINGS! I use to crave carbs. I felt like a drug addict that couldn't get a fix. But it was gone in less than 3 weeks!
