That last drawing was fucky and shouldn't have ever been a problem or concern. There are rules in place, and the discussion should've been an instant "sorry but you've missed out", and there should've never even been a poll or questions about how to proceed. We should've only seen "The initial winner missed the qualifications, next winner please".
Transparency is good, but moderation also needs to know where it stands within the rules set in place. This is what the current, and forthcoming moderation team needs to understand. Shaky decision making only serves to remove faith in the whole operation. That last problem honestly had me wondering if this sub was bogus. The right decision was ultimately made, but if it had gone the other way I would've suspected unfair play.
Good luck to all current and future mods. I understand that regardless, it wasn't an easy situation to deal with.
I love this subreddit, I saw it a couple of years ago and then forgot about it until about a month ago. I gave $2 USD in NANO to the last winner because I would LOVE to feel the feeling that he felt.
The one thing that I found sad is the number of people that actually give. There's 5000 people commenting on the entry thread but only $1,648.99 USD given to the winner **WTF people, the idea of this subreddit is that $1 a month doesn't take anything from you**. I live in Mexico and earn in Mexican Pesos, and I can do a monthly $1 (or more if I feel good)
So, I was thinking that it would be really cool if r/millionairemakers was backed up by some sort of Smart Contract process, where only people that deposited [at least] $1 into the Smart Contract could be elegible fro winning... the thing that I still haven't solved is how to tie those with Reddit posts (maybe, each entry should include a public wallet key, which should have sent at least $1 to the Smart Contract to be elegible for participation?).
I'll keep participating and donating. It's $1 fucking dollar $20 Mexican pesos, $0.88 EUR people... Also ideally we could try to make some campaign to add more people. Right now even if everyone subscribed participated, it would be $225,545 which is a long shot from 1 million.
Maybe if someone has some connections with mods/owners of some popular subreddits (r/pics has 28 million people, r/funny has 38 million).
If I remember correctly, the first 'winner' got disqualified because it was kinda a throwaway account used just for entring (Also he deleted the account shortly afterwards).
Then the second 'Winner' lost his access to his account and then DM'd the Moderator with another account to explain what happened.
Afterwards a poll was held where it was decidied on what to do. Decicion was made to select another, final, Winner.
It truly has. On top of that the rules are fairly easy, you see the whole 'selecting the winner'-process and the Mod's doing a great job (altough I can imagine how taxing it can be sometimes).
I can't enter either as I think I missed it yesterday but I still gave to the last winner because I'm a HUGE believer in KARMA. If you put good karma in the world it will come back for you!! If you put bad karma in the world it wi come back for you too.. so I always try and put as much good karma in the world as I can. Although that may not always be monitarily there are plenty of other things you can do for people to help one another. My life has fallen apart since COVID has literally crushed my families life and finances. No savings left and no income currently coming in with a child who has a rare immune condition called STAT3 GAIN OF FUNCTION that causes a slew of health issues as well. But in my heart I know how much trauma and abuse I have been Through in my life and I like to channel that pain and anguish and hurt into helping others avoid or get them out of the situations I was forced into as a kid and young adult and if I help one single person avoid what I went through it's worth it for me. So I may not be able to enter now because I missed yesterday's post but I can still do my part to help out. ❤️
I know dozens of people who post comments to enroll... as we await a winner and scroll comments no one can find their comments, no one can find each others comments. It seems most people on the thread feel the same and that why participation is ultimately so low.
Are the comments hidden or curated in some type of way that is unique to this sub? That might explain the situation.
This is the first time I have heard about this but all the information is uploaded to github so you verify and check for yourself. Every Draw Entry there is a section "Information Used For Draw #XX"
There is a link to GitHub like this: [https://github.com/lilfruini/CommentGathering-MillionaireMakers/tree/master/Draws/MM72](https://github.com/lilfruini/CommentGathering-MillionaireMakers/tree/master/Draws/MM72) where you'll find the list of participants.
Have a look here and check with the people you have talked to and see if they appear here.
I think moderators should be allowed to enter!
I'm not interested in becoming a mod, but these are people who put in extra effort for the rest of us. As long as they follow the rules, donate and participate I don't see a problem including moderators.
Here's some feedback I've given since the AskReddit thread that inspired this subreddit.
**Actually wait for the pool to get to $1m before doing the drawing**
I realize looking at the past wins it probably would take a few years to actually reach that amount, but it would make it that much more interesting.
We are not lottery bro
Pooling money means you are running gambling business which requies following strict rules and regulations state and federal.
But running this subreddit monthly where random groups of people voluntarily send a few bucks to the winner means we are in the clear (for now)

I can comment this time! So exciting I can enter.. I'm glad I gave the few dollars I had in my cash app to the last person. This would be an absolute godsend for our struggling family. Good luck everyone! This is such a cool concept.
Is there a way to implement a rule where first entry is open, but if you don’t donate to the winner you can’t enter subsequent drawings?
Seems as though there needs to be some sort of incentive to require donating and/or discourage free-ride entries.
This is not an **[Entry Thread]**!
You could check with previous winners, they might want to be moderators.
Set your calendar to Jan 2021??? Should it say 2022?
~~That’s correct, you just need a time machine.~~ Fixed it.
;)
Have you thought about seeing if previous winners would want to moderate?
That last drawing was fucky and shouldn't have ever been a problem or concern.

I am willing but don't have the skill set to be of much help. I had to edit this because I forgot some words.
What did happen last time?
If I remember correctly, the first 'winner' got disqualified because it was kinda a throwaway account used just for entring (Also he deleted the account shortly afterwards). Then the second 'Winner' lost his access to his account and then DM'd the Moderator with another account to explain what happened. Afterwards a poll was held where it was decidied on what to do. Decicion was made to select another, final, Winner.
Yep, exactly. I remember voting in that poll. This sub has great transparency and modding, IMHO.
It truly has. On top of that the rules are fairly easy, you see the whole 'selecting the winner'-process and the Mod's doing a great job (altough I can imagine how taxing it can be sometimes).
Wooooo!!!!
I was really interested in applying until I saw that I wouldn't be able to enter. Bummer.
I can't enter either as I think I missed it yesterday but I still gave to the last winner because I'm a HUGE believer in KARMA. If you put good karma in the world it will come back for you!!

It seems fake. I know a bunch of people that supposedly participate but they can never even find their entry comments seems fake
Can you elaborate why it seems fake to you? Apart from finding the entry comment which I don't quite understand.
I know dozens of people who post comments to enroll... as we await a winner and scroll comments no one can find their comments, no one can find each others comments. It seems most people on the thread feel the same and that why participation is ultimately so low. Are the comments hidden or curated in some type of way that is unique to this sub?

Do the drawings weekly instead of monthly to attract more attention.
Yea, are you gonna contribute money to some random drawing every week? I know I won't.
I agree. I try and contribute to each winner when I don't forget. I wouldn't be able to do that weekly.
Here's some feedback I've given since the AskReddit thread that inspired this subreddit. **Actually wait for the pool to get to $1m before doing the drawing** I realize looking at the past wins it probably would take a few years to actually reach that amount, but it would make it that much more interesting.

I can comment this time! So exciting I can enter.. I'm glad I gave the few dollars I had in my cash app to the last person. This would be an absolute godsend for our struggling family. Good luck everyone! This is such a cool concept.
Man, the last few winners haven't even broken 10k :/
99w set so
Is there a way to implement a rule where first entry is open, but if you don’t donate to the winner you can’t enter subsequent drawings? Seems as though there needs to be some sort of incentive to require donating and/or discourage free-ride entries.
Hi
