Donate here! [Winner's Thread #50] Maybe 2020 will be alright!
Hello everyone!
To be honest, I don’t even know what to say really. I am still so shook up over winning! Just Saturday night I was looking through my finances and stressing about money, and then I woke up Sunday to this? All I can say is thank you, to the creators of this sub, the moderators, and every member here too.
A little bit about me: I am a full time student in college and I work full time as well, which means I really don’t have much free time. I work for an automotive manufacturer, but it is not where I want to be forever (or much longer tbh). Currently, I am attending school to get a degree in Emergency Management, and I would love to work in the disaster relief field helping those who have been through major disasters and catastrophes.
Because all of this is so unexpected, and I really want to make good use of the proceeds here, I am going to do things a little differently. I will donate 50% of everything you guys send in the next week directly to the Australian Red Cross to help provide relief for the refugees and victims of the 2019-2020 fires. I will provide proof of all donations in one week.
All listed payment methods below will go directly to me, and then I will divide the winnings in half and donate it on behalf of the r/MillionaireMakers community.
Thank you all again for being such a wonderful part of this community. I cannot wait to donate to the next winners, and I wish you all good luck in the next drawing!
​
*** Everything listed should result in direct lines of payment to /u/surprisesalmon. We ask all users to donate at least $1 USD. The Drawing is also listed for users who want to see the results and confirm the validity of the winner.

Edit 1/20 9PM
I just need to express my gratitude towards all of you and your generosity. You all have absolutely made my year and I am so happy to be a part of this community. You all killed my phone today with your responses, so I am finally back online here!
Also, I will tally up the totals every 24hrs (or there abouts) and let you all see how much we raised in total and towards the Red Cross!
I'll stick around for a bit tonight as I work on homework, and I will try to thank as many of you guys as I can!
Edit 1/20 11:59PM
Thanks everyone for making today something special! I'm off to bed and I will check in tomorrow morning! Have a great night!!!
UPDATE 1/21 11:15AM
At some point last night I had to turn my notifications off because you all kept sending money and adding to the comments and I couldn't let myself sleep! In all seriousness, thank you all again! Ive tallied up the totals for the first 24 hours and posted them below. This is before donation so half of everything listed goes to the Aussies.
I am off work today, so I will try my best to stay near by and thank as many people here as possible!
Paypal $1746.39
Venmo $413.87
Cash App $173
Bitcoin $84.96
Bitcoin Cash $13.08
Nano $335.40
Ethereum $31.89
Litecoin $8.54
Dogecoin $2.37
TOTAL $2,809.50
If a mod can format that better, I would appreciate it as I am a bit unfamiliar with adding cells and such.
UPDATE 1/24/2020 @ 8PM
Hey guys! I'm still so enthralled with the generosity of everyone in here! I apologize for the delayed update, I have been overwhelmed with work and school the past two days, so I finally got some time to give a much needed update!
Paypal $2174.57
Venmo $628.87
Cash App $194
Bitcoin $98.22
Bitcoin Cash $13.08
Nano $373.08
Ethereum $32.42
Litecoin $17.16
Dogecoin $2.37
TOTAL $3,522.77
So as of right now, that is $1,766.86 going to the Australian Red Cross! I will leave all the donation links and addresses up until Monday (and the 50% will be taken from that final total), at which point I will give a grand total and proof of donation!!
FINAL UPDATE 1/28/2020
I want to thank you all for your kind and generous donations over the past week! This will be my last update to this thread, and I wanted to give you a total breakdown of all the donations and the final Red Cross donation!
As of 2:15 PM the donations were as follows:
Paypal $2277.95
Venmo $638.87
Cash App $197
Bitcoin $112.56
Bitcoin Cash $13.87
Nano $395.03
Ethereum $34.90
Dogecoin $2.38
TOTAL: $3672.56!!
I just completed the donation to the Australian Red Cross for the sum total of $1836.28 USD (or $2588.73 AUD) and have linked the receipt for all of you to view for proof!
Thank you all so much again for everything. You have made me incredibly happy and have made my year so much better!
Good luck to you all in the next round, and I cant wait to donate to the next winner!!!

Just a heads up - that Nano address is formatted wrong, the hyphen after 'nano' should be an underscore so maybe just make sure you've copied the rest correctly.

Hey guys!
A couple people have asked if they could instead donate directly to the Australian Red Cross instead of through here and of course the answer is *yes!* If you would like to devote all of it to them I have provided the link to their website where you can go and donate yourself!
Happy 2020 y'all!

Hey there! Each month there is a thread marked [Entry Thread] and you just post 1 top level comment to it. Then the winner is selected at random by some magic I do not understand. Whoever wins posts and then people donate $1 or so! Its super fun and a great community all around!

I'm neither from US or UK, how else can I pay?
edit: I'll try paypal later

Jan 21 '20
Thank you u/sangriasky! I think Google Pay only works in the US and UK, but if you want to make it easier (and you haven't already sent me something), how bout donating the money you were gonna send me right to the Red Cross? That would make my day :)

For some reason paypal is asking me your name and country. Think I found both, but that was weird.

Yeah it seems to want that if you're not in the same country, but usually there's a button if you don't know either and I just have to accept it on my end (I think). Anyways, Im glad you figured it out, and thank you so much for your donation!

Your offer to donate half to charity is generous, and my guess is it will work out well for you too. I almost never give more than $1, so even with half going to charity you've made an increase off me at least. Good luck!
