I've been using BLINK for a couple of weeks now and love it. keep telling myself "Just one more deposit then I'll quit" . I've actually managed to make a moderate profit, and hope to expand that profit as time passes. I dont always have access to a computer, so a smartphone optimized site/app would be an amazing thing to see. Keep up the good work!

The 160T party rolled on from 150T, and nearly into 170 as well. Egads!

In the 160T minibonks:

Yafco won a gakalicious Kestrel - filled with 12 PLEX, and a Red Itteron.
Gerson Way won 5b Blink Credit, and a Red Itteron.
jonashorwood won a JF of his choice, and a Red Itteron.

In the Main bonk, winning 110% of the total ticket value:

Cluvis won 95.95 Billion ISK and a blue Itteron!

The runner up, with all ticket holders having an exactly equal chance regardless of ticket numbers, At'igan Kuruc won 8.72B and a blue itteron!

Congratulations to these winners, the hundreds of promo winners, and everyone else who makes Blink so incredibly awesome!

As an addendum to the above:

Blink is always growing, as you all know. We've grown so much that the celebration weeks have started to overlap - that's means an average of OVER 1.4T in non-promo prizes given away a day, every day, always!

Does that mean we're going to give you less of them? Nevar!

Instead, Blink is now converting to a "Permanent Celebration!" There will be a new Bonk and Minibonk every Monday, which will end every Saturday, with the normal celebration promo density - but running EVERY DAY.

But we still want you to have something to look forward to - so we have an even bigger, even crazier, even promo-ier new type of celebration that you'll be seeing every 50T IN ADDITION to the constant bonk madness!

have to say i am starting to enjoy blink, have actually won a couple of things..which i turned right around and traded in for blink credit..just dont need those ships..trying to hold out for something really good. Running out of credit every day..theres no way i can keep up with people getting 7 tickets per ship/item costing them over a billion in isk to my little paltry one ticket haha.
The mind boggles at the wallets of you lot putting my tiny little wallet to shame

This is a great idea, for people with tablets or smart phones, i dont have either but definitely a good idea. Also, if i can get a tablet and download eve on it..i can play eve and keep giving money to blink so i can play more...uh oh..addiction showing throughOops

Only observation i have about this really other than it is great fun, is that certain people win ship after ship after ship with only one ticket bought each time...noones THAT lucky

Heyo :)

Every now and again, someone sees someone else win a string and this type of post pops up. I'm always happy to address it, though :)

Sometimes, a person (or group of people) wins several in a row because they buy a larger number of tickets to a specific blink. "Buying better odds" essentially.

Sometimes, a person wins several in a row just due to sheer blind luck.

But with over 1,342,413 prizes given away (not counting the 12,320 free promo giveaways), statistical aberrations do pop up occasionally :p

If you like, you're free to evaluate our method for choosing winners. The code we use to get the number is here. As you can see, we draw it from random.org. You can find their real-time statistics here and several peer-reviewed papers on the quality of their random-generator here.

Hope that helps :)

HELP!

Promo Blink Restriction
You must have played a blink in the last 48 hours to participate in promo blinks.

The last time I played for almost a week ago ...

Heyo Sergey :)

That's correct - you have to have played a Blink in the last two days to participate in promos. This restriction is lifted once you've deposited a total of 1b over the lifetime of your account, though :)

Also, i got this error when trying to get a ticket on the Pirate cruiser promo that was just up (missed it, can i get a refund? :P )

"You have somehow attempted to buy a ticket that is beyond the scope of this blink. Error: 1510786+257 "
