NOVEMBER
HIGHLIGHTS
WE'RE CELEBRATING OUR 20TH BIRTHDAY!
Toluna turned 20 this year,
and instead of asking for
presents, we're giving them
out! Play our latest game - the
Anniversary Calendar - each
day until 28th November, and
you could win 20,000 points,
or even an engraved iPad Pro!
To play, test your memory and
find all the matching cards
before time runs out. If you
pass this, you access the
scratch card to reveal whether
you've won. Didn't win? come
back each day to try your luck!

You could also win 20,000 points by wishing Toluna a happy
birthday in a short video. Here are a few tips to remember: film it
in landscape mode, make sure your video is good quality, and
most importantly, have fun!
The members with the 20 best videos will receive 20,000 points
each! To upload a video or see submissions from members in
our communities all over the world, visit the Games Centre.
There will be other chances to win during our birthday
celebrations this month, which we can't reveal at the time of
publishing this issue. However, stay tuned to the Toluna
Community to find out more!
You may also have noticed that the Toluna Millionaire daily
lottery is taking a break for November and December. We will
let you know once it returns, but in the meantime, the Daily
Wheel has been recalibrated so that you are five times more
likely to win during this time! Try your luck each day via the
Games Centre.

TOLUNA
REWARDS
There has been a small change to the rewards on offer in
the Rewards Centre. We have replaced the Caltex
Woolworths e-gift cards with Caltex StarCash e-gift cards.
These can be used at a wider range of participating
service stations, however we recommend that you check
with your usual service station as to whether they accept
the e-gift card before redeeming. More information can
be found in the Rewards Centre.

OPINIONS FROM
DEMAND FOR PLANT-BASED FAUX
MEATS IS BOOMING AND
MCDONALD'S PLANS TO LAUNCH
THEIR OWN FAUX MEAT
PRODUCTS NEXT YEAR. IT SEEMS
THIS DOES NOT APPEAL TO MANY.
Whilst 57% of Australian members think it's a
good idea for fast food chains to offer these
products, 41% do not agree with imitation "meat"
being named after traditional meat products.
IF YOU WERE IN POSSESSION OF A
RARE COLLECTABLE ITEM, WOULD YOU
SELL IT OR KEEP IT? A UK COUPLE
WERE FACED WITH THIS CHOICE AND
ULTIMATELY SOLD A COLLECTION OF
VINTAGE STAR WARS TOYS FOR
£410,000.
28% of Australian members would keep a valuable
collectable, and 59% would sell. Another 11% would
be willing to donate them to a museum.
FIRST PFIZER AND NOW MODERNA
- PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES
HAVE BEEN SEEING SUCCESS
WITH THEIR COVID-19 VACCINE
TRIALS. HOW DO YOU FEEL
ABOUT THIS NEWS?
22% of Australian members are hopeful that
these vaccines will end the pandemic, whilst
46% are still cautious. Another 19% believe
effective vaccines take years to develop and
seem to be untrusting of these vaccines.

HORSE RACING IS A BIG INDUSTRY
GLOBALLY, BUT IS UNDER INCREASING
SCRUITINY BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE
HORSES ARE TREATED. SHOULD WHIPS
BE USED BY THE JOCKEYS?
CARMOLIN SAYS:
I have seen them hit the horses so hard it is heartbreaking. I am sure
some jockeys are reticent and I know of some jockeys who will not use
them and still win. Makes you wonder again why. The reins and knees
are what are used to guide a horse not the whip.
MADMONKEY49 SAYS:
I love horse racing my Grandfather trained the second place getter in
the 1963 Melbourne cup. My dad trained and my husband was a jockey.
Quite often when my husband rode he only used the whip towards the
end of the race and sometimes just holding it up was enough to
encourage the the horse to try harder. It would be ridiculous to ban
whips. Most people who work with horses are animal lovers.
MELHELLWAY SAYS:
It is sad to see how people use animals to fulfil or satisfy their desires on
their gambling habits. I’ve seen a camel race in the Middle East without
whipping the camel or just using their hands and heels to hit the camel
without using sticks. Let’s face it, we know that animals can feel pain like
humans but at the end of the day, they also need to be guided. A light or
a simple smack won’t hurt the horse. It is a sign that you are asking them
to do something. And if you still want the horse not to be touched.. then,
ban the horse racing and no more betting.

From the Australian community
Fatimah900
I spent the Coles voucher at my
local Coles store was very
happy to spend it. I had to
gather a few ingredients and
made a great lasagna and pasta
dish which was so delicious. I
even packed some for work
hehe :)
RedCapsicum
I love these flowers, but they aren't
cheap. I purchased one from my
local supermarket with a gift
voucher from Toluna, popped this in
a vase, & now am enjoying looking
at this beauty on a daily basis.
Simple pleasures. Ah nature, just
perfect!
