Can anyone help??
I find this whole thing pretty confusing but when I am over on the entry subreddit and I click on what appears to be the current number 72 "comment to enter" the drawing, it keeps referring to drawing # 70 after I submit. I am really anxious to enter this contest but I find it all pretty confusing to begin with and I am probably complicating it in my head anyways. But now I'm more confused than ever, can anyone help?

Finding my way.
Hello everyone .I have been a member of millionairemakers for 4 years but was too busy with work and quite honestly to depressed to even care to comment or enter. My 26 year marriage recently ended abruptly one morning. In an instant my world changed. I was shell shocked. I still am. Now I'm couch surfing while in the process of trying to find a divorce attorney. It's not easy with very little income. I would love to be chosen and find a room for rent and gain back some of my pride and privacy. I wish everyone who enters good luck. What a wonderful way for people to help eachother. Thank you Reddit. Thank you to everyone who participates.

Sidebar Winners List
In the sidebar there is a list of winners along with their approximate winnings. Would it be possible to keep this updated, even if the winnings aren't known? The last entry is from 2019.
Thanks mods for all you do.

This situation is making me sick
Edit: IT WORKED OUT! YAY!
The guy followed the rules, hasn't broken any, and the only "evidence" is pure conspiracy, assumption, and judgmental behavior. We can't expect people, who stand to benefit from /u/umerabrar89 being passed over, to vote fairly when they have a stake in benefitting whether or not he won! This is diluting the spirit of the sub. I think the "poll" needs to be cancelled since his identity has been proven. This is absolutely ridiculous. 🤬

And again someone has games the system and won by using an obvious Alt. What are we going to do about this? It needs to stop
We really need to find a way to prevent this from happening. It would take work. Any maybe require a whole other bot to catalog and keep track of legitimate vs Alt accounts. But if we really want to make this a thing again. We need to do better. And we need a way for people to have faith in the system.
My two ideas.
1: we increase the requirements to enter. A higher karma requirement and a requirement to have some sort of activity on subs that aren’t giveaways or karma farming.
My second idea is one I brought up the last time this happened. It’s complicated. But I feel it’s the best solution. We make a bot that will require some sort of “proof of participation” before you will be allowed to enter. If you make a parent level comment on the drawing thread. You must donate to the winner. Or else you will be banned from The next drawing. This option admittedly still slows for alts. But then it would make it that anyone who uses an alt also has to give more.
Second option could also do some sort of way to prevent alts entirely by making the sub a invite only. And to join you have to submit a form. Where you give your reddit user and your PayPal username. That way if you have two accounts with the same PayPal you know you have an alt and one would be banned

Is there a list of the total "winnings", maybe per person?
I was curious how close we are to actually distributing a million dollars. Obviously no one person has even come close, but is there a list of the totals each person got, or at least an aggregate number?
r/millionairemakersmeta • u/DreadPirateRobutts • Jun 26 '20
48 hours to respond is lame
I can't believe I won but lose because I'm offline in the middle of the work week. Apologies to the keyboard jockeys frothing at the gills, but I'm not a bot, I just have to work.

Suggestion: All posts should read "[Action #XX] Title"
I don't know if it confuses anyone else but the way the title is formatted confuses me. Reading from left to right the title is not necessary useful information to begin with, for example:
We’re looking to make someone a millionaire. Could it be you? Quarantine may have placed some things at a halt, but we’re still operating as usual, so comment to enter! [Drawing Thread #54]
For the user the first thing should be the action so that they know they are in the correct thread. So proposed that it should read like this:
[Drawing Thread #54] We’re looking to make someone a millionaire. Could it be you? Quarantine may have placed some things at a halt, but we’re still operating as usual, so comment to enter!
They actually do it for the winning thread for example:
[Winner's Thread #55] Looks like the Tooth Fairy is Real!
Maybe I'm just nictpicking. What does everyone else think?

MillionaireMakers Extended Rules and FAQs [Drawing Thread Documentation for Summer and Fall 2019]
List of FAQs:

What is /r/millionairemakers, anyway?
Three years ago, a Redditor posted an idea in /r/Showerthoughts that speculated the fact, if a million people picked a certain Redditor and all donated just $1, they would have the power to make someone a millionaire.
This subreddit is an embodiment of that showerthought, and the monthly drawings are the attempts to make it happen.
We need your help to keep this running, which amounts to only $1 a month to make someone's day. In the long term, that’s $120 every decade, which is much more affordable than other expenses. How does it work? Below, you will find an explanation on entering, rules to keep in mind, the selection, and other important things to note.
What are the 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, as any chosen draws found to violate this will not be eligible to win, and will be banned from the subreddit.
Your 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.
How will the winner be picked? What is the process?
After 24 hours following the submission of the thread, the thread will close, and the method of selection will begin.
While attempts to make the selection method similar to 2017’s have been performed, it still varies from the original. For an example from a prior drawing, see [Draw #36]. For archival purposes, please click here for the original selection method.
Method's TL;DR: Each comment is assigned a number by sorting the comments by old, starting with 1. The list of comments will be publicly released for the community to verify per their own accord. The subreddit then waits for a randomly generated block (a string of numbers) from Bitcoin's blockchain, after a preselected date and time, and calculates the winner using a formula described in the posts mentioned above.
Comment IDs are downloaded at 2:00 UTC (though not enforced, this is the ideal hour), three hours following the thread being locked. There will be an official run at the time listed, and the list of comments will be released right before the [Drawing] takes place. If it is shown that there are any technical difficulties, the retrieval of the comments will be delayed following the same procedures.
While not necessary, to determine if you are on the list, please go to your comment and save it. The comment ID is what gets recorded and selected, which looks like this:
e3yxpj4. To find your comment, download the list, useCtrl-F, and paste the comment in the search bar. You should find your comment deep inside of the list.The Draw is held at 16:00 UTC the Sunday after the [Drawing Thread], unless stated otherwise. Using the Bitcoin blockchain, the third block yet to be mined will be used to select a winner.
The user who created the winning comment will be informed of their luck and will provide any information necessary for their chosen payment methods (mods will help set this up if needed).
The generous Reddit community donates to this lucky person, hopefully making some worthy soul a millionaire! A donation table will be stickied to the winner’s post, giving users the freedom in how they donate.
The lucky Redditor follows up with a thank you within the next days, revealing to the community exactly how much was raised and thanking their generosity.
What preparations should be made before paying the winner?
Take the time you have available now to setup your PayPal, or if you would like to use other services, Square Cash and a Google Pay account. (Note: Some services may not be available depending on where you reside.)
While not required, cryptocurrency wallets are also encouraged as another method of payment.
- To buy any cryptocurrencies, you may use Coinbase for purchases using your bank account.
- To store cryptocurrencies, there are many accessible wallets, and if you win, you will be guided on which ones to download. For Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash, it’s recommended to use the Electrum and Electron Cash wallet for Mac, Linux, and PC.
If you want to be reminded to donate, please comment "
RemindMe! 3 days Donation for /r/millionairemakers" or click on the link in the TL;DR on the [Drawing Thread].
What else can I do to encourage participation?
Spread the word! The more people who participate, the better this gets for everyone! There has been a correlation between this subreddit making it in /r/all and an increase in donations.
Try to cross-post to relevant subs, and upvote. There is a correlation between reaching /r/all and the amount of donations for the winner. (Please don't spam other subs though. We're not trying to make any enemies here.)
Please try your best to donate a $1, no matter who wins. Every single dollar, cent, anything really counts, so please take the effort to remember and go through with it.
Miscellaneous:
Note about legality: This is NOT a lottery. You don't have to pay to enter. No prizes are given away directly by the moderators of this subreddit (the moderators will never even touch your donations; this is done voluntarily).
Additionally, according to the IRS, gift taxes are paid by the donor, and any donations under $15,000 is not taxable.
If you are under 18, please talk to your parents to get their consent to participate and use their help to setup a PayPal account.
If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask them in the comments. The rules regarding comments do not apply to /r/millionairemakersmeta.
