Welcome to the News community!
Rules:

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

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 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
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 mean 16k~ is still a decent amount of money
Can I get $420.69?
Thanks, pal!
Oooh oooh oooh! Me too! Me too!
Hey, a thousand buys a lot of lottery tickets....
=)
Goooood luck!
I need money thx.
Hey, free odds approaching zero is better than paid options approaching zero
Neat.
Sweet!
Thank you
Sure.
I'll take the possible free money lol
Thanks kind person! I’m in.
How much if you don't win?
About tree fiddy
When someone gives you odds like that, you take it!
that'd be interesting
