Rolex Lottery?

Does anyone know if this particular account that supposedly gives away free watches is legit? This particular one is on Instagram. Lol

As the old saying goes, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Why would they just give away free watches? Seems suspicious to me.

Oh boy, I’ve checked them out before. It’s not free at all. In fact, they make much more money on the watches. You need to buy a ticket (or a few) for a high price, and then they have a lottery to and someone wins. If you go in the page and do the math, they make about extra 30k-40K ON EACH WATCH. In addition, while they claim that some of the money goes to charity, it was never backed up. To conclude, I’ve been tempted to sign up but then read some of the comments there and decided it’s not for me.
Good luck if you do it though

Used to be something on Reddit as well. Buy tickets at a small amount for opportunity to win a watch of much greater value.

Without a doubt it is an interesting concept but don't think I'd participate. Odds are relatively low
