If I win I'll give everyone in this thread a million dollars.
So, if there's 60 people in the thread, everyone gets $16,667
I see you all fell for my cunning ruse. Definitely not something I figured out after I posted. Not at all.
You're more likely to get struck by lightning while taking a poop, so for your sake I hope you win instead.
You are of course joking. But on the infinitly tiny odds you win, and the similarly ridiculous odds you follow through, I'll comment
With odds like that, we can't fail. Simple rule of conservation of narration.
I and my 43 children all are pleased to be in the thread.
But that just means the million will be divided up even more, reducing your share! ;)
Your comment implies it’s a million to each commenter
I'm just messing around, we all know I won't win lol.
Too late, I’ve already bought a JetSki with your expected winnings
So these people get money because of the implication?
I hope you win, keep your word, and the news runs a story on it afterwards thats grows the user base and specifically siphons users from Reddit. I want to see Reddit burn to the ground.
That would actually be such an interesting way to gain users, I want to see that
Can I get $420.69?
I mean 16k~ is still a decent amount of money
Thanks, pal!
Hey, free odds approaching zero is better than paid options approaching zero
Oooh oooh oooh! Me too! Me too!
Goooood luck!
Hey, a thousand buys a lot of lottery tickets....
=)
I need money thx.
Neat.
Sure.
Sweet!
When someone gives you odds like that, you take it!
Thank you
I'll take the possible free money lol
Thanks kind person! I’m in.
How much if you don't win?
