Quest for Packs Giveaway has an Additional Grand Prize
As announced earlier today by Blizzard, the Grand Prize for the Quest for Packs promotion has been leveled up. This should help the winner offset the taxes on the prize, "a daunting prospect". The total grand prize is now as follows.
- 3000 Hearthstone Packs
- The Lich King's Helmet
- Hearthstone Apparel Gift Set (T-shirt, cap, and pin)
- $1200 (USD)
Be sure to login every day and do a daily quest so you get an entry into the contest. More information can be found here.
Quote from DaxxarriWe hope your Quest for Packs has been going well so far. We’ve heard hopeful adventurers voice concerns that the idea of winning the Grand Prize is a daunting prospect. That’s not in the spirit of a proper quest, so to help smooth your way, we’re making the rewards sweeter.
The Grand Prize will now include $1200.00 USD.
We’ve updated our Quest for Packs blog with this new prizing information. You can also read updated contest rules here!
Thanks for joining us in the tavern, and good luck on your quest!
Dumb way to make an imbalanced game popular..everyone can create free content but not everyone can create a fun, interactive and balanced game that makes fun the more you play it. Hearthstone is fun (sometimes), interactive (in some way), sometimes balanced, mostly not. There‘s a lot to improve
I wish I'd win, and get paid in crypto
what mindset do people have to have to be so negative towards a contest? everyone has an equal chance to get free shit for no reason...why the hate?! I can understand being salty if you lose, but c'mon.
You are wrong, not everyone, just the countries they chose to participate
The $1200 USD is to pay the IRS on the taxes you will be assessed. That was nice of them *edit* - if the winner happens to be in the USA.
Should be available for all countries.
Then you should lobby your country's government to relax their laws governing sweepstakes.
nothing changes for me, i'm out for the country restriction, so, still good luck for this who have any chance to win
Meanwhile countries such as Dominican Republic cant participate in this giveaway for what reason exactly? Because as far as I know there are no laws against giveaways... As a supporter player who buys packs with real money I feel very disappointed that something like this is limited to few countries only. Why?
It is extremely unlikely that they would exclude any country for anything other than legal reasons. I leave it to you to research your own nation's laws, however.
So, in Canada, where we aren't taxed for lottery winnings... That's just $1,200 in the pocket hey? And that's USD, so that's like a million dollars up here or something. I can't wait to win this!
Nice to live in a country where we aren't punished just for being lucky, eh?
In the US, we have to add a ton of random taxes to offset the fact that income taxes are WAY too low.

Sorry blizzard I don't care this competition. I log in every 3 days after my daily quests is full. Sorry I will not won this 3k of packs
RIP english
Why offer such a LARGE damn prize to a single person while they could offer more prizes but in smaller sizes, like 10 packs to 10.000 winners for example...
None of us is going to win that anyway.... it's impossible :D
There are 3000 packs for 1st prize, 30,000 for the 100 secondary prizes and another 150,000 packs for the rest of the 50,000 prizes.
I have seen some top-heave prize structures, but this is not one of them.
