How To Enter:
In the comments section of this post (and you’re welcome to post your entry on your blog if you wish, but it’s not required as long as you’ve posted it here) finish this statement: “If I had a million dollars…”
Sure, we don’t have a million, but we’ve got quite a bit here to give away! $3,364.33 just in cash and Amazon Gift Certificates (and another couple bucks in non-American money with a bonus NFL Pro Bowl Ballot that we have no idea the monetary value of) to be exact!
So there you have it. Be funny, silly, serious, it doesn’t matter! Just finish that statement in the comments section of this post and you’re entered to win one of the above prizes.
Rules: One entry per person. If you have already won something from one of our other giveaways, you are not eligible to win. Winning one of the prizes listed above will prevent you from being able to win any other prizes for the duration of the giveaway.
Winners are chosen at random using a random number generator. You may not “pick” the prize you want, we will award them in the order that we receive the random winners.
This contest begins at 9am on Friday, October 5, EST (New York, USA) and ends on Saturday, October 6 at 9am EST (Again, New York, USA). We will close comments at that time.
PS: We are about to turn the ProBlogger Birthday Bash into OVERDRIVE! Up til this point we’ve been giving prizes away every 24 hours – but in a few hours we’re going to accelerate the pace a little and the giveaways will start coming every 8 hours (with a few more 24 hour ones thrown in) until the end of the weekend!
Make sure you’re subscribed to our feed now or you’ll miss out!

“If I had a million dollars…I would go to an American university.”
If I had a million dollars, I would go back to school!
And maybe buy a new pair of runners : )
If I had a million dollars… I already have, I have won the euro lotto many times (and I never entered just got the email) and also those nice nigerian people want to use my bank account- I am just waiting on the money to arrive, seriously I’d quit my job and start my own blog network
If I had a million dollars, I would contact some of the scam victims that I have made phone calls to over the past three years – people who lost large amounts of money to the Nigerian 419 scammers.
I wouldn’t be able to give them all back exactly what they lost because some of them lost a lot more than 1 million over the years. I would take the million dollars and divide it up by the amount of people who lost money to the scammers, and I would give them a little bit back each. For some of them this would cover their losses, for some of them this might cover their legal expenses because many of them were arrested for check fraud in the US.
The phone calls where I have had to call a scam victim and say – you’ve been scammed by (scammer name), did you send any money to them? – and the answer to that question is yes – have been some of the most difficult moments in my life. I try to stay strong for the people who lost money but it is difficult to keep it together when they’re telling you about the thousands of money they owe now.
On the other hand, there are often calls where the scam victim is *just about to* send the money. When I manage to warn them before they do that, those calls are some of the best moments in my life.
