What is this, anyway?
Ten months ago, a redditor posted an idea in /r/Showerthoughts that speculated the fact that 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 are now an embodiment of that showerthought, and this is our next attempt to make it happen.
We need your help to keep this running, which only amounts to a $1 a month to make someone's day. Now how does it work? Look below.
How to enter:
"RemindMe! 2 days Donation for /r/millionairemakers"
, this will remind you via PM to donate. You can also follow this link and click send to be reminded to donate.Important Rules:
Only ONE top level (not a reply) comment per person, but feel free to reply to other comments. Making duplicate top level comments may result in exclusion from entering. Go to /u/me to ensure you don't accidentally double comment. Delete any extra duplicates ASAP.
Your account must be older than 30 days with some amount of activity. Obvious throwaway accounts with very minimal activity will also not be eligible. This is to prevent multiple entries from the same person.
How will the winner be picked and how can you donate?

Advice:
MOST IMPORTANTLY
Remember, this is about generosity, about making history, and about coming together to make someone's life better. So take 3 minutes to donate a bit to the winner, whether you're well off and want to donate a few bucks, or going through tough times and can only donate a few cents. Every cent counts.
Note about legality: This is NOT a lottery. You don't have to pay to enter. Also, WE are not giving any prizes away (the moderators will never even touch your donations). As for gift taxes, according to the IRS they're generally paid by the donor, and any donation under $14,000 is not taxable.
Think of what you could do with $1,000,000... You could pay off student loans, have lifesaving surgery, or even give $1 to a million people!
So Reddit, thanks for sticking with us through that long post. It's finally time to change a life. Help us to the front page, so we can make history, and...
LET'S MAKE A MILLIONAIRE!
Man. A dime ain't worth a nickel these days.
