Just got one of these!

Dear Primefinder,
Congratulations! Our records indicate that a computer registered by you has found a unique prime number. This computer is running BOINC, is attached to the PrimeGrid project, and is assigned to the Proth Prime Search. What makes this prime unique is that it's large enough to enter the Top 5000 List in Chris Caldwell's The Largest Known Primes Database.
Since you have auto-reporting selected, the following prime was submitted on your behalf:
Added 125538 : 807*2^2625044+1 (790220 digits)
This prime was found on this workunit which will automatically show as a prime result after verification by the Largest Known Primes Database.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us and we will surely resolve any problems.
Once again, congratulations on your find! Thank you for participating in PrimeGrid.
PrimeGrid staff
Well done Mike.
I'm pretty sure no one on the Team has done this recently...but I could be wrong...
Edit: Two members have achieved this but some time ago:
UBT - bobuk in 2011
http://www.ukboincteam.org.uk/newforum/ ... 49&p=76312
and NaRyan in 2009

Big OOOPS !! I hadn't read the end date correctly and just assumed it was a Sprint and ending on a Sunday !!
Posting now corrected above.
And I've re-enabled PrimeGrid on my PCs...hence why our hourly credits were lower, as they stopped getting new PG tasks about 8pm last night . Not sure if the 6 hours of crunching that's left is enough for us to overtake any other team.
The deficit is as follows:

19 GPU Users Group 373323.44
20 Canada 355394.91
21 UK BOINC Team 347412.15

23 Alien Prime Cult 319362.22

Hi all
As of 4pm UTC:
Gaps now 12,000 and 31,000 and just 2 hours left.
I've added about 11,000 credits since I saw Mikees post earlier, but it might not be enough to help grab at least 20th place.
But you never know.

Tim

Re: PrimeGrid's 2018 Challenge Series Solar Eclipse Challenge
Hi all
Stats as of 18:00 UTC:
Looks like we fell short of 20th place by about 11,406 credits (equivalent to about 71 tasks, or about 4 hours of crunching from 36 cores )
And 31,568 short of 19th place - which is about 200 tasks, or about 12 hours of crunching from the same 36 cores - which is more relevant as my PCs weren't crunching PrimeGrid for about 18 hours.
Next time I'll pay more attention to the ending time - promise !!
