View Full Version : Millionaire Money

Is anyone else here an uber-nerd and collecting the Millionaire Money in the P-D? I did it last year and thought I would be one of the few people doing it. The when I went to the P-D office to have it counted, there was like a 7 hour wait. I didn't realize that many people were into it. If you care, there was a million dollar note in Sunday's paper, only 2 20,000 notes in today's.

Yea they auctioned some good shit last year. The problem is you need a shitload of money. I don't have the time or the patience to cut that shit out EVERYDAY!!! ANd I mean EVERYDAY. In my opinion it is a waste of time. My buddy wento over last year with MILLIONS of dollars and could not even start bidding on anything because of the fucking geeks who had nothing to do but cut out money for months. Dont waste your time in my opinion. There were literally people buying 100 to 200 papers just for the money in them.

I didn't go to the auction, I spent like 25 mil on 25 raffle tickets. I didn't win anything. I read the paper cover to cover everyday, so it makes sense to try to get something for nothing.

no it has nothing with being cool it has to do with not being a fucking geek and cutting a newspaper eveyday for nothing. Go right ahead and keep believing you will get that mexico trip for just cutting out of a newspaper and let me know how that turns out. I am just telling you what the history of the contest is but if you want to go right ahead.

crdfan99 is actually right.....its unfuckingbelievable what people do for this money. KHITS did promotions with the P-D for this shit, and the lines were crazy long to win free money. i was talking to a few people while they were in line and they said there are groups of mexicans taking hundreds a day and building up huge stashes of money.....so good luck getting anything

You are correct. I had a freind go out to the auction last year. He had about 800 million in the money. He still walked away empty handed. The whole thing is a sham.

Flappy, do you realize there are many organizations (like churches, ball clubs, etc...) that are pooling all their "millionaire money"? If you don't have atleast 15-20 people collecting for you, you have no chance at getting anything in the auction. Probably need way more than that. Just sayin.
One of the better PR moves the Post has done in a long time, but i'll still get my news online.

I am aware of all of that. It isn't just an auction, though, they have a raffle when its all said and done. I probably won't win, just like I didn't last year. I get some simple happiness cutting fake money out of the newspaper. Do you have to piss on my blissfully ignorant parade?

Apparently.
I just know somebody involved with the promo and had heard how many disappointed people there were in the end.

Final count of fake money: $100,000,000
Going Thursday to the P-D and getting the money counted. Every $5,000,000 is one entry into an auction of the prize of my choice. Being a hearing impaired gentleman (yes I can use a computer), I am putting 20 chances for a set of $2000,00 a piece hearing aids. Not glamorous, but if win it's worth the effort. I'll find out on 10-8.
