So, around 30 minutes after I publish my unofficial guide to SL20B, an e-mail arrives announcing the SL20B Sweepstakes – something which I admit I’d missed when visiting the event’s Welcome Area.
Why is this newsworthy? Because the prizes – particularly for those in the United States – are pretty impressive, including as they do:
- A physical world Chevrolet Bolt EV car (US residents only).
- A physical world Asus high-end gaming laptop (US Residents only).
- A Second Life Lifetime Premium membership.
- A 1 Year Premium Plus membership.
- DAILY 1 Year Premium membership.
No purchases are necessary to enter the sweepstakes, just a visit to the SL20B Welcome Area during the festivities, and click on one (or both, in the case of US residents) Sweepstakes kiosks.
There are also a couple of official web pages providing more information and rules, and which run a clock giving the time remaining to enter:
So why not give it a go – the Daily Premium prizes are worth a visit on their own, to say nothing of the rest. Just expect the Welcome Area to be busy!

As a non american resident this feels like a slap in the face. I don’t think the premium i have been paying for over 15 years costs me less than what an american citizen pays. So basically if you are american you can win a 30K ? worth prize and if you are not you can get a 100$ prize ? that’s borderline condescending

There are very practicable reasons (including legal and tax related) why the prizes have been set this way. You might want to check Patch Linden’s comments on these here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRbH9beNpvQ#t=54m55s
