Announcing the winners of the giveaway in which 10 SteemMonster packs and 10 individual SteemMonster cards were up for grabs.
The Contest
A week ago, I created a post in which I promised to give away 10 @steemmonsters packs and 10 @steemmonsters cards.
To be eligible to win, contestants had to fulfill 2 simple tasks:
tell me why they should be one of the winners.
invite 2 other people by tagging them.
By the time the contest ended yesterday, there were 61 contestants who had posted a valid entry.

Picking The Winners
Winners would be picked randomly.
To decide who wins one of the prizes, all names of the people who posted a valid entry will be entered in a random name picker. Faith will decide who goes home with a SteemMonsters Booster pack or a single card - and who will have to wait until the next time to expand his card collection.
For a moment, I thought I had made a mistake by turning into a random drawing.
But then I came across an online tool called 'Random Picker', which automated the entire process for me.
All I needed to do was add the names of all contestants in a text file and upload that to the website. Then, I just had to enter which prizes I was giving away, and how any of them, and the system did the rest.
It even gave me an URL to a webpage with the outcome, so I had proof of the results.
It was the easiest drawing I ever did, and I can recommend the tool to all of you.
You can see how it worked in de video below.

The Winners
Like I said, the app gave me a URL with the list of winners as proof.

Here's the list once again, so all winners will be notified:
Congratulations!
The cards and booster packs are coming your way soon...
Remember, you can verify the drawing by watching the video on DTube (You'll need to enlarge the video to make the text readable).

Congratulations to all winners
Thank you for this prize, @simplymike, and thanks for running a fun competition. As I predicted, "my username just looks good in winners lists", haha, and it sure looks good in your list of winners here. 😉
By the way, I see that you're promoting Minds.com, and I was just wondering if you are the same Mike that I knew from over there? Are you the one behind MindsGaming, etc? My apologies to you if you are, as I didn't recognise your username here, before now.
You're welcome.
I'm not the one behing mindsgaming - I haven't even heard of that, but now you've made me curious.
My username on Minds is simplymikeonminds
Felicitaciones a los ganadores, un abrazo @simplymike.
Where do u buy these steem monster packs?? I have been wondering about it but never really looked into it..
Congrats to all the winners.. Great contest, thanks @simplymike
Sorry for the delay. I thought I had replied to your question already.
You can buy the packs at https://steemmonsters.com/
Congratulations to all the winners. Hopefully, I'll get something on the other contest... 😗
Sorry it didn't work out for you this time, @trincowski. I hope you have better luck next time.
A pack! Awesome! Thank you so much! Off to check what's inside...
You're welcome, @aiyumi
I hope some good cards will be included :0)
I opened the pack. The rarest card inside was a Stonesplitter Orc. Sadly nothing that I still didn't have, but I appreciate all of them! :)
It feels like it's getting more difficult to get good packs as more time passes.
When I bought my first packs, back in the early days, there were always some valuable cards inside. Just last week, when I was buying packs for the contest, I couldn't resist buying some for myself too. In 5 packs, I had one rare and one epic, the rest were all commons... :0(
