/r/MillionaireMakers [Winner’s Thread #43]steemCreated with Sketch.

in #steem5 years ago

It's happened again!

Reddit has picked one damn lucky person to be the receiver of free money!

I’m truly grateful and still a bit speechless. After a little bit of verification issues due to me deleting comments and post after a week or so, I’m verified!
So a little about me… I’m an early 30s dude, I live on the west coast of the USA, no kids, no significant other, I have worked mostly in sales my whole life. After realizing this is not what I want to do for the rest of my life I decided to sell everything I could, downgrade my lifestyle, move out of the city and into a tiny room in a shared house and work on becoming a commercial pilot. I figured it was now or never to do something I have always dreamed of becoming. I have met some truly fantastic people in the world of aviation and I would never be where I am today without their guidance. To help pay for this adventure I was fortunate enough to find a job at our airport as well as dipping seriously into my savings and unfortunately using credit cards. But in the end it will all be worth it.

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: Millionaire Makers - A Night to Remember (Comment to Enter!) [Drawing Thread #34] << 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:

What a way to wake up on the first weekend of summer! [Winner Thread #43]

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.
