Winners

Frequently Asked Question

  • In addition to their main prize, one hundred (100) random winners also received T-shirts.

  • All you needed to do was follow @dbrand, @MKBHD, and @Mrwhosetheboss on Twitter. That's literally it.

    Also, while not mandatory for entry, you could have also followed dbrand, MKBHD & Mrwhosetheboss at the links below:

    On Instagram:

    On YouTube:

    On Facebook:

  • Yes.

  • As long as we could ship to your country, you were eligible.

  • Ten winners were drawn on March 7th at 1:00 PM EST.

    Winners continued to be drawn, ten at a time, in 24-hour intervals (excluding weekends), until all prizes had been given away.

  • Randomly, from a cross-section of @dbrand, @MKBHD, and @Mrwhosetheboss followers.

  • We used a custom Python script which was specifically programmed for this giveaway. It used the Twitter Public API to download separate lists of all @dbrand, @MKBHD, and @Mrwhosetheboss followers.

    Once the full lists were loaded, the script generated a list of IDs which existed on all three lists. This ensured that the potential winner was following @dbrand, @MKBHD, and @Mrwhosetheboss.

    From this pool of unique account IDs, random entries were picked using a randomly generated seed based on the NumPy project. These random picks were the resulting winners.

    For every subsequent winner selection, we ran the script again. This triggered the Twitter Public API follower IDs fetch again. The script downloaded the newest followers and kept going until it reached the followers which were downloaded during the previous run. This saved us from having to download a list of several million followers every time a winner was selected \u2013 while also ensuring that everyone was included and had an equal chance of winning for each random draw.

  • No.

  • Once we had established contact via Twitter DM with the winners and confirmed their shipping details, we posted their Twitter handles on this page.

  • Every prize was shipped via FedEx, with tracking.

  • Of course not. Everything was paid for by dbrand.

  • No, but the winners were encouraged to tweet out a photo tagging @dbrand, @MKBHD, and @Mrwhosetheboss to verify that they had received their prize.

  • They probably didn't before they won - again, the selection is 100% random. Accounts always get a boost after we post a link to their Twitter profile for everyone to see.

    The reason every winner had followers after we posted their Twitter link is because there were hundreds of thousands (sometimes more than a million) users who visited this page every day. Just like yourself, many ended up clicking on the profiles of the winners and some even ended up following.

  • No. Fuck off.
