50,000 Euro RapidShare Lottery Prize Goes to India
CHAM, Switzerland, June 11 /PRNewswire/ -- RapidShare AG, a popular 1-click-hoster, has today announced the winner
of its RapidShare Lottery. Over 500,000 people took part in the prize draw
by exchanging RapidPoints for raffle tickets. And the winner is 19 year old
Srishti A. from India. Bobby Chang, COO of RapidShare AG, will be
presenting her with the prize and congratulating the young Indian in person
at the beginning of July.
"The lottery really went down well with our users and was a complete
success," comments Bobby Chang about how the competition went, before
adding, "users from 60 countries took part in our 50,000 euro prize draw
and we are very proud that the 'RapidPoints' bonus programme is used so
extensively across the world."
RapidShare was somewhat surprised by the large number of participants
and therefore decided to give away 1000 prizes of 10,000 RapidPoints in
addition to the main prize of 50,000 euros. The winners of these prizes
will be informed by e-mail and will automatically be credited with the
RapidPoints. These can be redeemed against, for example, a new premium
account.
Taking part in the RapidShare Lottery was very simple: users could just
exchange 50 RapidPoints for a raffle ticket that was then automatically
included in the draw for the mega prize. RapidPoints are gained via
uploaded files and their resulting downloads.
