Trading cards have gained immense attention among investors and collectors, and many popular celebrities, including Post Malone, have been collecting one. Interestingly, one GameStop customer has even won a heavy jackpot, making $63K with an investment of $33. What is more interesting here is that he won the Bitcoin jackpot, where the scratching card gave him one full BTC, worth more than $63 at the current price. This Bitcoin news has shocked the netizens as it is a rare event.
More importantly, this is not the first time someone has won BTC and other cryptos in trading cards, as just at the beginning of the year, another person won BTC in the same way.
Bitcoin News of The Day, GameStop Customer Won 1 BTC?
Cardsmith is a subsidiary of e-commerce retailer TOYNK, which has launched various trading cards, including the Currency Series 1 in 2022. Some of this series of cards have been bought by a GameStop customer, which is the biggest Bitcoin news as of today, as he won 1 BTC in one of the cards.
The company has launched these trading cards with random redemption codes, which reward its buyers with popular cryptos like BTC, ETH, LTC, and DOGE.
This news got out when the user shared the winning post on Reddit, revealing how his $33 purchase made him $63,000. However, this can be much more as the Bitcoin price is on the rise and has reached the $73K mark at the beginning of the year.

The GameStop team has also shared this story on their X and gained thousands of views, probably influencing many others to buy the same.

However, it launched many other series after that, increasing the possibility of winning. Even this jackpot winner had to buy 10-12 boxes of these Cardmsith trading cards and finally became lucky last month.

Other than having cryptos as rewards, what is interesting about this series is that they feature many crypto memes and cartoon avatars of famous crypto industry leaders, including the BTC creator Satoshi Nakamoto, MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor, and others.
BTC Price To Hit $100K Next?
Though this Bitcoin news of a GameStop customer winning 1 BTC has surprised many netizens, another surprising news is that China will get into trade with Russia with cryptocurrency. Per the recent CoinGape reports, Russia is to pay China in cryptocurrency for war supplies, which could boost the BTC price. This is because China has banned the usage and trade of cryptocurrency in the country, and this trade will positively impact the crypto industry due to China’s new approval of this industry.
The BTC price is already under bulls impact, where it has added more than 7% to its value over the week, currently at $63,601, which is considerably high. However, there was a time when this value reached past the $73K mark, breaking the earlier $69K ATH target. Based on this and its demand in the market, many crypto analysts have anticipated the BTC price to surge to $100K in the upcoming bull run.
