Honestly, I opened the site just because I had a gap before going to bed and didn’t want to waste time staring at the ceiling or scrolling aimlessly. I wasn’t hyped, I didn’t expect to win big - I just wanted something different to look at. I joined a couple of rounds without thinking too much about it, and somewhere in the middle of that simple routine I found myself back on
