There has always been a negative aura attached to the various giveaways on Hive. Some folks seem to not like the the posting of the giveaways for one reason or another. This will sometimes lead to downvotes and loss of income. Still, I believe the goal of giveaways is twofold. One, of course, is to provide an income to the person running the giveaway. The second, and perhaps more important, is to “spread the wealth” by rewarding either other tokens or Hive as the prize.
I think the best case scenario is to use a token to catapult a giveaway into the second layer. This removes the core problem some people have with giveaways and I recommend other content creators of giveaways to consider making their own token or using an existing token as the entry for their giveaway and reject the rewards they have been receiving for their posts.
There were always plans for the creative use of the $LUCKY token. Especially having a second layer use. Essentially, the plan was to use the token as a payment to enter various giveaways, contests and raffles.
My solution to the problems connected to giveaways (my own anyway) is to use the $LUCKY token as entry or prize in several giveaways and if any announcement posts are made then the rewards will be declined or burned.
To that end I have started a giveaway based on the rich list of the $LUCKY token and have the first winner, 
In addition I plan to revive my original “Hi-Lo” game whose prize was the $LUCKY token to the winners. Also, stay tuned for other games.
I am posting this hoping we can start a dialog about the idea. So please comment to argue any points or to expand on the topic. Thanks, I appreciate your time you spent to read this.
