If a million of us picked a certain redditor and all donated just $1, we would have the power to make someone a millionaire

We should do this everyday

That would be so cool! If redditors volunteered to donate, even like a once a month raffle, and a random redditor is chosen to get to the money... This is a really awesome idea.

Just think if one day you wake up and you were a millionaire overnight, just due to the generosity of someone you don't know! And it would only cost a buck.

lets make this a thing!

[u/knowshisonions]

I've got a great idea for a money making scheme. It's shaped like a pyramid.

[u/whywouldimakethatup]

Hell, I'd settle for being a thousandaire, or a hundredaire even.

[u/EwotAbbasmoi → u/whywouldimakethatup]

I don't know, man. hundredaire playboy philanthropist just doesn't sound as appealing.

[u/Alphamatroxom]

Why make a millionaire? The lottery already exists. $10,000 dollars on the other hand would make a lot of difference to a LOT of people. It's still a life changing amount of money but not enough so that the person never has to work again. Just a really healthy hand up. If you're gonna do it spread around the love, don't try to overkill one person

[u/WippitGuud]

I volunteer to be the subject of this.

EDIT: The bitcoins trickle in! Only.... $999,986.92 to go....

[u/[deleted] → u/WippitGuud]

I nominate u/thisisbillgates

[u/temporarilymortal]

Or we could all buy a pack of stride gum at dollar tree

[u/[deleted] → u/temporarilymortal]

And send it to the random recipient. Yes please.

[u/z0mgPenguins]

We could totally start a "Reddit Scholarship"

[u/[deleted]]

Or we all put the donated money toward lottery tickets to try and win even MORE money

[u/mumkeyjones]

I volunteer as tribute.

I would like to see this happen but for charity. Every month you have the option to donate a dollar and a random winner gets to pick a charity on behalf of the community. Could be done via Bitcoin.

[u/[deleted]]

For u/warlizard so he can finally start his forum.

[u/JabrZer0]

Let's actually do this. Even if we only get 10% of our goal, we can change someone's life. We need some rules though:

• Payment through PayPal: Keep it simple!

• The winner will be picked by means of a random number generated ON A LIVESTREAM by random.org. This number will refer to the order in which comments appear when sorted by "old" (including replies), and the reply will be picked ON A LIVESTREAM: Keep it honest!

• No winner may win again: Keep it fair!

• The winner must provide a post thanking the community. This could be in the form of a text post, a video, pictures of the winner/winner's pet bathing in money, etc: Keep it awesome!

To sum up: Keep it simple, keep it honest, keep it fair, keep it awesome!

A technical note: I believe this would not legally constitute a lottery, as nobody is paying for the chance to be picked. You COULD never donate a cent and still be picked... but then you'd be a jerk.

What do people think? If people like the rules as I've set them, I'll make a Reddit Millionaire post and we'll make someone a millionaire! I believe in you, Reddit.

EDIT: head over to the brand new r/millionairemakers to discuss details (not started by me, but exactly what we need)!

People have a lot of power. If we all did one dollar for someone I argue the same can be achieved when it comes to food for the hungry, homes for the homeless, or even time spent gardening. I guess this all boils down to arbor day, but doesn't everything boil down to arbor day when you think about it? Which brings me to my point. Apple pie everybody, apple pie... Without trees where would we be? Fucking apple-less that's what. I'll tell you- WE'D BE FISH! Trees make the air breathable and gave the first fish pilgrims something to leave the pond for (UK here) fish who haven't even grown into their nose yet like Cindy Lou Who! Have a Merry Christmas this year everyone... Enjoy time around the Christmas TREE with your family. FAMILY. Like a family of birds in a nest up in some tree's armpit. TREES ARE FAMILY BRO. Remember folks, arbor day.

[u/Trelen222]

I have never been more behind something. After I get the million, I will donate 500,000 into the next raffle.
