The draw, in the open

How draws work

Most giveaways ask you to trust a black box. Ours runs in the open: the method, the math, and the results, published every time. Here is the whole thing.

The method

Four steps. No black box.

01

Every entry is a ticket.

Your entry count for the month is your ticket count. Base entries come with membership. Bonus entries come from referrals, opens, and the free entry form. One pool per draw, every ticket in it.

02

The computer picks. Not a person.

The winner is pulled by a cryptographically secure random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), weighted by tickets, with the math corrected so no ticket is ever favored. Nobody at EDGE can pick a winner, and a draw that has a winner is final. It cannot be re-run.

03

The numbers get published.

After every draw we publish the pool: how many entered, the total entries in it, and how many the winner held. You can check the odds yourself.

04

Drawn live.

Draw day runs on a livestream. You watch the pull happen. The winner's first name and state go up the same day.

The first real line in this table gets written at the Founding Draw on October 26. Winner's first name, state, entry count, and pool size, same day.

The money

Who pays for the prizes

Brand partners fund the prizes. Your subscription funds nothing but your edge: the deeper codes, the curation, and the club. That is why a $7.99 membership can sit behind a $3,499 trolling motor without a catch.

No purchase necessary

The free entry

Anyone can enter any draw free through the open entry form, once per draw period, at equal weight per entry. That is the law, and it is also how we would run it anyway. Enter free or read the Official Rules.
