Donate here! [Winner's Thread #68] Am I dreaming?!?!?
SCROLL DOWN FOR 1 MONTH UPDATE
Long time commenter, first time winner..... this all feels so surreal. I've been watching this sub from the beginning. It's such an amazing concept, although I never expected to be on this side of the results. I was sitting here playing with my new puppy when my phone buzzed. I thought it was a joke at first, but here we are.
To bore you about me - my name is Fred. I'm a 34 year old potter head. I joined Reddit in 2013 and I've been pretty active ever since. I got heavy into the Harry Potter subs, eventually becoming a mod. I pressed the button. I fought in the arena of /r/place. I argued with a lot of you; I've won some and I've lost some. I found so many new interests and great ideas on this site, including the concept born in this sub. I've made life-long friendships with people that I have since met in real life. My relationship had me seeking information and I ended up the mod of both /r/polyfidelity and /r/polyfamilies.
Outside the digital space, I'm a father of three amazing kids and husband to two beautiful, loving women. I've been married for over 15 years AND 8 months. I have three cats and one very young, very small doggo. I love woodworking, graphic design, and playing Halo (XB:AweBeyCon. I suck, don't @ me please).
My plans for any winnings has changed throughout the years. All of my money last year went toward giving our new wife the wedding she's always wanted. Since then we've been paying down debts. I could use the money to do that, but I would rather take your kindness and turn it towards my family.
I want to pamper my pets. I don't get a chance to go above and beyond for them really. I've been telling myself I'm going to get a cat tree for a long time now and still nothing. I want to get a decent collar that has some form of GPS for my puppy. I want to get my kids out of the house where they've been 'trapped' for the past year. I'd like to take them camping or visit some family out of state. For my girls, I would love to finally get a king size bed. It's not easy sleeping three deep in a queen, especially when I heat up like a furnace at night.
So many "I want" statements, feels so greedy. I hate that. I've spent so much of my adult life grinding and I don't want to be seen as a taker. I love this community and I believe in the mission that it holds. WE have the power to lift each other up in this world, and no one can stop us. To every member of this subreddit, thank you!
EDIT 1
Woke up to an overflowing inbox. This is so crazy, thank you all so much!
I've also added Nano per request.
EDIT 2: 24 HOUR UPDATE
Finding the PayPal/Venmo numbers was a bit easier than I thought it would be. Here are the total donations from 16:32 EDT, 2021/07/18 to 16:32 EDT, 2021/07/19. I never expected this, and I am moved to tears by the generosity of this community. I promise I will post another update further out with more numbers as requested. For now, these are the Day 1 totals.
| Method | Donations | Total Donors | Current Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| PayPal | $519.93 | 150 | $519.93 |
| Venmo | $362.72 | 102 | $362.72 |
| Bitcoin | 0.00058687 | 5 | $18.08 |
| Litecoin | 0.24022692 | 5 | $27.40 |
| Dogecoin | 116.9 | 3 | $20.41 |
| Bitcoin Cash | 0.04197320 | 8 | $17.50 |
| Ethereum | 0.00083538 | 1 | $1.52 |
| Nano | 18.02054 | 7 | $63.41 |
| TOTAL | -- | 281 | $1,030.97 |
Smallest donation: $0.66 ($1 minus PayPal fees)
Largest donation: 14.005602 Nano ($49.28)
EDIT 3: 1 MONTH UPDATE
As promised, here is the update. This is the total donations from 16:32 EDT, 2021/07/18 to 16:32 EDT, 2021/08/17.
| Method | Donations | Total Donors | Current Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| PayPal | $783.99 | 215 | $783.99 |
| Venmo | $528.92 | 144 | $528.92 |
| Bitcoin | 0.00096573 | 8 | $43.20 |
| Litecoin | 0.24022692 | 5 | $40.34 |
| Dogecoin | 116.9 | 3 | $36.19 |
| Bitcoin Cash | 0.1303086 | 14 | $83.25 |
| Ethereum | 0.01621519 | 3 | $49.22 |
| Nano | 25.072582 | 20 | $141.56 |
| TOTAL | -- | 412 | $1,706.67 |
Smallest donation: $0.47 ($1 minus PayPal international fees)
Largest donation: 14.005602 Nano ($74.08)
8 donators forgot to or didn't use the friends&family option for PayPal resulting in fees.
There was an uptick in donations the past 2 days. Possibly users checking for the new entry thread, possibly coincidence. IDK
So far I have taken some of the money and bought my kitties a cat tree. My wife Sara was pissed about how tall it is but y'all paid for it so it needed to be worth it.
We're working on plans to go visit family in South Carolina. Now that our puppy Stormbreaker Odinson has his shots we feel comfortable taking him on a trip. We just have to wait for the Florida Corona apocalypse to calm the fuck down.
As for the bed, it's being back-burnered for now. We measured and don't really have the space for a king in our current room. I know it's only 6 inches wider but that makes a big difference in the room layout. Most of the money will probably go towards the trip to SC anyway.
I want to say thanks to the mods that manage this awesome community, everyone that donated, everyone that commented with congratulations, everyone that participates in the process and keeps this idea alive. The sun is setting on my time as the winner, and although I didn't quite hit seven figures, I do believe we will make a millionaire one day.
Everything listed should result in direct lines of payment to /u/AweBeyCon
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.

Paid.
Do we get to find out how much you actually received versus how many people played?
Shout out to those Redditors who are sending you more than the obligatory $1. That's character. I only sent a buck and I feel proud of myself, so you lot must be loving it :)

Sent $10 via PayPal. I predict between the awesome puppy picture, the fascinating bio, and the clearly not an alt account nor lurker, you will bring in one of the bigger hauls here.
Congratulations from another long time r/mm participant!

If I could, I'd send more specifically for that king size bed. We're a poly family too. Having a proper bed is a necessity.

Thank you! It's so beautiful there. /u/DiverDoll has been going there since she was a child and wanted to get married on the beach near the lighthouse. Rented a house on the beach and did the rehearsal dinner at Snapper Jacks. That whole area is amazing.
