There’s a $1m crypto jackpot up for grabs this week, as Lucky Block launches new prize draws.
A further $1m will also be dished out in a separate NFT draw, for owners of Lucky Block NFTs.
Ticket sales for the $1m crypto jackpot prize draw will begin on Monday 30 May, with the winner both announced and paid at 8pm on Tuesday.
The winner of the NFT draw will receive their prize at the same time, offering what Lucky Block says is ‘probably the best chance on offer anywhere of becoming a millionaire’.
Around 2500 NFTs have been sold for 3.75 WBNB apiece, each offering free entry for life into the daily NFT draw.

Following the huge main draw, a daily main prize draw will begin on 6 June.
Terence Ribaudo, Lucky Block’s head of product, said: “We are focused on creating cutting edge Web3 experiences, and bringing the best of the gaming and entertainment world to attract and reward new users into the space through multi-channel marketing.

“By utilising the best of blockchain technologies, and delivering experiences that people with no crypto experience can enjoy, we will build a new ecosystem that will benefit not just us, but the entire Web3 community.”
A live-streamed launch party with American rap star Swae Lee will take place on Lucky Block’s social media pages from 7pm on Tuesday 31 May, ahead of the announcement of the first draw winners.

Lucky Block says there’s been a ‘frenzy’ of interest across both the crypto space and among ordinary consumers about the prize draws, which total $2m in LBLOCK tokens.

In part, that’s down to the free entry ticket option for the main prize draw.
For the first draw, anyone who holds more than $500 worth of LBLOCK tokens when a snapshot of the blockchain is taken in the 24-hour period before the draw, will be entitled to one free ticket.
Consumers will also gain a free entry by sending in a postcard.
There’s no upper limit on the number of tickets that can be bought for the jackpot prize draw.
The price of LBLOCK tokens – which can now be purchased with ordinary money – has risen nearly 100% in the past seven days in anticipation of the prize draws, to $0.00279.
Since last week visitors to the website have been able to buy LBLOCK using their credit or debit card.
Lucky Block has now launched its web app as the third leg of its consumer adoption strategy.
The web app is available to anyone with an internet-enabled device.

A new billboard has appeared in an iconic location in Manchester that’s suddenly making everyone go all lovey-dovey.
Iconic haircare brand John Frieda has taken over a spot on the city’s beautiful King Street, with a stop-you-in-your-tracks advert.
Mancs passing through this part of town over the coming festive season will spot the eye-catching sight of… themselves.
John Frieda has installed a huge mirror (complete with mistletoe) where Mancunians can show off their style, check out their festive ‘fit, or pucker up for a selfie with loved ones.
And the adorable concept is already creating some heartwarming moments in town.
You’ll spot groups of friends posing for photos in their finery, couples sharing a cute smooch, and families taking a moment to capture themselves all back together for Christmas.
You can see some of these adorable exchanges in the video below.
John Frieda has installed the mistletoe mirror to encourage Mancs to show off their style, and individuality.
The decades-old British haircare brand has set out to show off all hair types, because everyone’s ‘hair is worth celebrating’.
And, of course, John Frieda has products tailored to all hair types.

Manchester Airport unveils bumper Christmas makeover with Santa’s Grotto and last-minute shopping ideas
Daisy Jackson
Christmas has officially landed at Manchester Airport, and with an estimated 1.1m of us travelling through the busy transport hub in the coming weeks, the airport is really kicking off the festivities.
The halls have been decked with all sorts of festive touches, like a 20ft Christmas tree in Terminal 2, and plenty more glitter and sparkle around the entire airport.
There are dozens of discounts on stocking fillers as part of Manchester Airport’s ‘Holidays Mode Activated’ campaign, along with festive menus at bars and restaurants.
A Santa’s Grotto in Terminal 1’s free play area, the Little Flyers Zone, will be open until Wednesday 18 December, where little Mancs can send off their list to the big man with a Letters to Santa Station.
Santa himself will be on hand to greet families on Thursday and Fridays, but his elves will be there throughout the next few weeks too.
There are more than 200 destinations you can fly directly to from Manchester, from city breaks to other Christmas markets to snatched fortnights of sunshine to flights to spend the festive break with loved ones.
You can do your Christmas shopping at Manchester Airport with brilliant businesses like The Sculpts
And whether you’re one of those who’s panicked and left your shopping until the last minute, or are biding your time to save cash on beauty, booze and fragrance at World Duty Free, you can tick everything off your list on your way home for Christmas.
Shops at Manchester Airport include legendary toy shop Hamleys, fragrance favourite Jo Malone, and sportswear brand JD Sports.
You can stock up on gifts like fashion accessories from shops like BOSS and Accessorize, or get all your gifts for 2024 in one go at duty free.
And don’t miss The Sculpts, a Manchester-based design business operated by a local couple, who sell a range of handmade homeware and souvenirs including their signature alphabet tiles.
Manchester Airport Managing Director Chris Woodroofe said: “Christmas is a magical time here at Manchester Airport.
“We’re always proud to connect the North to the world but the importance of that role really shines through at this time of year. It feels wonderful when you see travellers having emotional reunions in arrivals and families in departures getting ready to visit Father Christmas in Lapland.
“It’s also always a popular time to fly and, having broken our passenger records every month for well over a year now, we expect this Christmas to be the biggest and busiest we’ve ever seen with over a million passengers flying in the two-week festive period.
“Not only will those passengers receive a great service – last month 82% of our passengers waited less than five minutes to get to security – but they will also be able to soak up some of the magic we have here, including Santa’s grotto in our Little Flyers Zone in Terminal 1 and choirs singing carols at various spots in all three terminals.
“We can’t wait to welcome passengers to Manchester Airport this festive season.”
