MrBeast promotes James Patterson book launch with a $1 million prize

MrBeast launched The Most Dangerous Games, a mystery novel written in collaboration with James Patterson. The book was promoted across MrBeast’s channels with a chance for one purchaser to win $1 million, effectively making the launch a lottery-style promotion.

Two people described as close to the project reportedly said preorders were in the four-digit range as of the prior week. That figure was not independently confirmed, and the promotion’s timing and details were described as uncertain.

The excerpts also note that raffle-style promotions may allow entry without buying the book, but they do not establish whether that option applies to this specific campaign.
