Young boy wins KSI and Logan Paul's' 'Golden Prime' challenge
On November 10, KSI and Logan Paul introduced the 'Golden Prime' challenge. Outlining the rules, they stated, "On November 10, the golden Prime will be encased in bulletproof glass. To access it, participants must correctly guess a six-digit code, with only one guess allowed per person and a mere twenty seconds to make that guess."
They added, "If the code remains unguessed within 48 hours, the torches inside the case will ignite, rendering the gold prime bottle worthless."
Significantly, the solid gold bottles were placed in London and New York, drawing queues of fans eager to take their shot at the challenge. Logan Paul and KSI enlisted former NASA Engineer Mark Rober to create the bulletproof case.
In a video shared on Prime's social media accounts, viewers witnessed the moment when a lucky young fan guessed the code and became wealthier in the process.
The child, sporting a Pinewood FC jersey, entered his code guess, prompting KSI to inquire, 'Alright, is it gonna be this one?'
The room erupted in green lights and confetti as KSI exclaimed, 'Oh my God, we have a winner in London!'
The elated mother of the young winner swung him around before he received the coveted gold bottle.
However, in NYC, where Logan Paul oversaw the US segment of the contest, the second bottle met its demise as there could only be one victor.
Following the correct code guess, Logan Paul declared, 'We have the winner in London. They got it? No, that means ours is getting burned.' The accompanying clip depicted the melting and destruction of the second gold bottle.
On Instagram, the official Prime account remarked, '$500k won instantly, $500k lost instantly. Thanks to everyone who made this activation so special. Here's to the next billion.'
Commentors swiftly congratulated the winner, with some describing the 'Golden Prime' event as an 'insane spectacle'.
