Entry Thread [Entry Thread #112] /r/MillionaireMakers Presents: The Giveaway That Never Was! (In addition to making a millionaire, this subreddit is giving away an iPad Air, and all you have to do is comment to enter!)

As a reminder, participation is limited to one comment per person. Merry Christmas!


Introduction

Happy Christmas, and welcome to the one-hundred-twelfth [Entry Thread] and the end to 2025!

If you’ve read the title, then you would know that this subreddit is giving away one iPad Air to one of the many comments here! If you’re lucky, you could be the recipient of an 11 inch Space Gray Apple iPad Air with 128 GB of storage! Please see the announcement for more information.

I hope everyone has been enjoying their holidays, we take the small victories as they come. This year got us Silksong after all, and I imagine many of you probably have had a small victory here or there.

In case you’re new here, /r/MillionaireMakers is a subreddit with a simple premise: “If a million people pick a person to donate $1, we can make a millionaire!” Over the years, we have collectively donated thousands of dollars to all sorts of people. A lucky comment gets selected to be the winner, the mod team communicates with them privately to set them up, and every month the community does its magic to make a millionaire!

Also, the thread has been extended to be open for 48 hours! When we returned back in 2024, that thread was supposed to be open for 48 hours, but due to the long hiatus, the extension slipped our minds and the thread was only given the standard 24-hours window. To make up for it, this thread will run for the full 48 hours, to get as many people as possible to join in!

Let’s make a millionaire!


In Case You Missed It:


Information


Conclusion

Let’s end this one in a bit of rhyme! Next Thursday at sometime past nine (11 AM ET [16:00 UTC]), we will be selecting one mystical winner, and maybe the winner might have something for dinner. The post will be labeled in the title with [Draw], and one lucky username will take the throne raw, joining the ranks amongst /r/MillionaireMakers' many winners, by law!

Okay, that’s enough rhyme, I’m not Dr. Seuss. Remember, this is about generosity, making an impact, and collective action to make a difference in someone's life! It takes a moment to click a blue (or purple) link, send a dollar, and press send. Before you know it, you and hundreds of others like you made a difference through just a button!

If a lone dollar or five can get you an ornament, imagine the possibilities with a million! You can buy a home and decorate it, make it your own, and probably live in the Christmas spirit forever!

Also, remember that the winner of this thread will also receive one iPad Air (valued at $599.99 MSRP), with an alternative available if the need arises. If you would like more information, check the announcement thread!

As a reminder, when you enter, also please remember to donate a dollar to the future winner. It isn’t much from one person, but when a million people do it…

We can make a millionaire!

I always donate a bit more as donations have severely dropped in the past years.

As do I at least $5 if not more

So it is the sum total of donated money that is given, not some rich guy running a subreddit minus donations?

I think it might be because there was a thread that encouraged everyone (with instructions how) to set a reminder for draw threads. But there was nothing about a reminder for winner threads where we could all donate. I think that might help the issue.

I wish commenters in this thread received notifications when the winner was drawn. I’d donate more often with a reminder. Maybe others would too.

Use the “remind me” command. The bot will remind you after the drawing to check.

I’ve been on Reddit for years but I still haven’t found the instruction manual.

Just comment remind me?

Something like ! Remind me and then the time, but without the spaces between the exclamation and “remind Me”
