You should really just have everyone follow the @fame account and then retweet the winners tweets for the day.


... But then they wouldn't have a lot of followers. Then, only @fame would have a lot of followers.

Note the goal of "YOU'RE NOW PLAYING TO WIN 1,652 FOLLOWERS" not "YOU'RE NOW PLAYING TO SEND TWEETS TO 1,652 PEOPLE".


I'm just telling you that trying to do this with the follow/unfollow API is likely going to end in tears and that the retweet style will have the same effect.
