It's happened again!
Reddit has picked one damn lucky person to be the receiver of free money!
This month's lucky winner is a "typical redditor" aged 20-35:
Wow. I don't know where to begin. I was in shock when I finally logged into reddit after getting home from Christmas. I am a just your typical redditor, or at least what I assume to be a typical redditor until I am told differently, a white male age 20-35. I mostly type thoughtful responses and retorts that I promptly delete before sending. I am kinda nerdy. I've been to 3 or 4 meetups where I sit awkwardly trying to put screen names to faces.
Now what you all came here for, the part where I say what I will do with the money. 75% of the money is going towards my student loan debt the other 25% will be donated to the American Cancer Society and to Feeding America. My father lost his battle with lung cancer last Christmas. I like to think that he was looking out for me this Christmas. After he retired he devoted his time to Feeding America. He was proud of how efficiently they collected and distributed food, and the difference he was able to provide the community. I know you don't believe this but I have sent verification to the mods. Finally Please don't start smoking and if you are a smoker quit.
What is /r/MillionaireMakers?
MillionaireMakers is a subreddit that is dedicated to the Showerthought (also from Reddit):
If a million of us picked a certain redditor and all donated just $1, we would have the power to make someone a millionaire
Sweet! How do I enter?
Every month there is an entry thread created on the subreddit: /r/MillionaireMakers
The title of the thread will be something along the lines of this:
Fun Fact: This is the closest a Millionaire Makers drawing thread will get to Christmas Eve! Comment to enter, and let’s make someone’s Christmas while we still can! [Drawing Thread #37] << Actual Entry Thread
Simply make a comment on that thread and you're in the running!
There are however some important rules:
Only ONE top level comment per person (replies and subsequent-level comments aren't included), but feel free to reply to other comments. Making duplicate top level comments may result in exclusion from entering. Go to /u/me to ensure you don't accidentally double comment.
If, by any chance, you do double comment, delete any extra duplicates ASAP, ideally before the thread is locked in 24 hours, as any winning draws found to violate this will not be eligible to win, and will be banned from the subreddit.
Your Reddit account must be older than 30 days with some amount of activity. Throwaway accounts with very minimal activity will also not be eligible. This is to prevent multiple entries from the same person.
Do I Need to Donate to the Winner?
No-one can make you do anything.
But, we hope that in the spirit of the competition that you do come back and make a very small donation to the winner of the draw.
We are not making assumptions but $1 usually does not break the bank for most people and even if it does, you could take this opportunity to empty you Bitcoin wallet of the 0.00001254 BTC that has been sitting there since the last panic-sell. You could even use the old exchange-rate excuse: "Sent you 1 VEF. Should be in your account soon."
However much you decide to donate, the communities of the internet will be eternally grateful for your contribution to the betterment of humanity (or at least one human).
Oh, that reminds me! Don't forget to head over and donate to the latest winner:
A Christmas Miracle [Winner's Thread # 37]
Why are you posting on Steem?
I'm glad you asked, as part of our efforts to get as many donations to our winner as possible, we will create a blog post, much like this one, for every winner.
All of the payouts from this post will go to the winner. Additionally, any donations sent directly to the @millmakers account will also go to the winner.
Here are some handy links:
1 STEEM || 2 STEEM || 5 STEEM || 10 STEEM
1 SBD || 2 SBD || 5 SBD || 10 SBD
For those wondering about the Steem Power. We will not be Powering Down but simply compensating the winner with the appropriate exchange of STEEM.
