Pokemon GO Players Can Win $5,000 for Finding Rare Pokemon

 

#1

Ripley’s is now hosting a contest for gamers playing Pokemon GO who travel to any Ripley’s location. Players who discover rare Pokemon near the Ripley’s locations – many of which are PokeStops – can tweet in a photo of the captured Pokemon and enter a contest for a chance to win a daily prize of $100 and a grand prize of $5000. Ripley’s claims that the entrant who finds the rarest Pokemon in front of one of their locations will be rewarded $5000 at the end of the contest. In case of a tie, whoever caught the rare creature first will be declared the winner.

Gamers who are interested in entering the contest have until July 24th to submit their entries via social media. Using the Pokemon Tracker tool and Lure Modules around the Ripley’s locations will probably provide the best chance of finding the rarest Pokemon each area has to offer. However, gamers should keep in mind that using a Lure Module at the PokeStop will allow other players entering the contest the same advantages, so using Incense instead may be advisable.
