There was a company, forcerank, that was fantasy stock market. Rank stocks based on expected performance, and winner gets points, with cash prizes. They ran into a little SEC trouble, so careful with gamificating investing. https://www.sec.gov/news/pressrelease/2016-216.html

That said, it was a fun idea. Instead of picking lottery numbers, ranking tickers in the right order, and then pulling a date out of a hat? Something that only operates on past data?



Interesting I'd never seen this. We will look into this for sure. Thanks for sharing
