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.

Yay!! It is 180406 which puts me at around 1300 on the top 5k list. How common is it to find primes? I just joined the project and have under 1k credit. What luck!
