A rare spin of Durpee82’s wheel sends the viewer to BlizzCon
Streamers often use a spin wheel on their channels. It’s a fun way to reward viewers who support the channel with points, donations, or subscriptions. Most often, the prizes are small, such as audio alerts, toys, or small gifts. But sometimes the prizes can be expensive. In this case, the BlizzCon trip was the rarest prize on the wheel.
The winning viewer may already live in California. If this is true, Durpee82 may only need to pay for the plane ticket, which could cost around $300.
However, if the viewer is far away, the streamer may have to pay for the flight, hotel, and tickets to the event. Therefore, the award is all the more surprising because it is unlikely to happen.The story also shows that online flows are unpredictable. A simple game on the channel may cause a lot of money to be spent or greatly surprise the viewer. For Durpee82, the rare spin of the wheel was exciting, and made the viewer very happy. This also proves that sometimes luck can come in unexpected ways, even during a fun live stream of the game.
