I predicted that the champion would be Magnus Carlsen

....

Lol

As I recall, there was an event on chess.com that wasn't related to our club; it was more for the sake of entertainment.

I don’t think there was a prize for predicting, I think it was just for fun. You could ask one of the mods tho.

Pretty sure there was a prize, but you had to do a lot more than predict the winner.
