Giving Away Free Money

$100 to one lucky visitor

noreply@blogger.com (Scott) — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 12:10:00 +0000

I have sent a money order for $100.00 to one wonderful visitor from San Diego who has asked me not to share his/her name on this blog.

They asked for help with this month's car payment and hopefully an extra hundred dollars will help a bit.

I appreciate everyone's requests and will continue to try to answer them as often as possible.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Free Monopoly codes at McDonald's

noreply@blogger.com (Scott) — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 17:00:00 +0000

I know this isn't exactly the best fit with this blog, but I figured some of you might appreciate it. I've found 3 free multi user codes for use in McDonald's Monopoly game that is going on right now.

I know giving away money is better - and I will be giving away more this week - but if you play the Monopoly game at McDonald's like me, you might want to try these codes. They worked for me and seem to work for anyone who tries them.

good luck.

McDonald's Monopoly multi user codes:

It's been a long time, but I'm sending more money out to a friend in Texas this week

noreply@blogger.com (Scott) — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 14:38:00 +0000

It's been more than a month since I gave out money to a deserving individual. I apologize for being gone so long. I've read a lot of emails from a lot of nice people who I'd like to help.

To get back into the swing of things, I'm sending $50 to Tom from Dallas, Texas. Tom apparently has an issue with fire ants and would like to hire someone to get rid of them. I always thought fire ants were a Florida problem but apparently they're living and biting all over the southern United States.

Okay Tom. Good luck with the little buggers. Consider going with an organic pesticide to be considerate of the environment.

For everone else...please continue to send your letters. I'll respond to them as soon as I can, and I hope to continue to give away more money very soon.

Lots of visitors lately. How are you finding my site?

noreply@blogger.com (Scott) — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 17:36:00 +0000

I've had record numbers of visitors to the site lately - such as Monica of Port Clinton, Ohio. I sent Monica a money order for $75 to help with the cost of gas, which remains quite high despite dipping under $4.00 a gallon recently.

The problem is, my statistical tracking software isn't telling me where most of the visitors are finding this blog and this site.

As a small favor, I'm asking my visitors to let me know where they're finding the links to this site...did you use a search engine like MSN, Yahoo or Google? Are you finding it on a blogging site? Or are you learning about this page through friends and word of mouth?

If you want to share this info with me, just drop me a line or post a quick note on the comments section of this blog. Your help will be greatly appreciated and will really help me in getting the word out about this very fun website.

Thanks!

5 bucks, 5 bucks, 5 bucks, 5 bucks

noreply@blogger.com (Scott) — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 14:31:00 +0000

I gave away a total of $20 yesterday to four different people. It doesn't seem like much. But when it's free, it's free.

$5 to Tammy of Newton Falls, Ohio.
$5 to James from Devonshire, Bermuda.
$5 to Alli of Chicago.
$5 to James from Tampa, Fla.

I'm going to continue to make an effort to send out more cash and money orders in the coming weeks and months on a more consistent basis and in larger amounts.

Please continue with your requests. Understand that I get hundreds of them and cannot always follow up personally to each one.

Thanks again.

$20 for gas money to a student in Los Angeles, Ca.

noreply@blogger.com (Scott) — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 11:39:00 +0000

I got a letter last week from Michelle B. who is 17 and lives near Los Angeles, Ca. She is getting ready to start college (do 17 year olds really go to college???) and said she could use some gas money or some cash for other expenses.

I was impressed that she was pursuing higher education, so I am mailing her a $20 money order that she can use for food, entertainment or gasoline for her car.

Good luck at school, Michelle!

August 6...nice day for a giveaway

noreply@blogger.com (Scott) — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 01:20:00 +0000

It's just a great day. So I decided to send $120 to Mick from Vermont. He needs to pay his electric bill and his water bill.

I just wish my electric bill was only $120! Does anyone know a good way to save money when you're running air conditioners in the summer????

Anyway, check back tomorrow, and keep the emails coming. You never know when I'll decide to give away more cash.

$25 to Michelle from Iowa for lottery tickets!

noreply@blogger.com (Scott) — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 17:21:00 +0000

Today I sent out a money order for $25 to a Michelle C. from Iowa which she said she plans to spend on lottery tickets.

Have fun Michelle. I hope you can turn that $25 into a million!

Who says Friday the 13th is unlucky????

Spring is almost here

noreply@blogger.com (Scott) — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 19:20:00 +0000

It's almost spring time...baseball season...Easter...better weather. I'm looking forward to it and I hope you are too.

To celebrate my good mood today, I just sent an international money order for $350.00 to Susan V. of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Susan said this money will come in handy for remodeling her house with her husband when the weather gets a little warmer.

Susan, enjoy the springtime. It will be here before we know it!

Happy Valentine's Day

noreply@blogger.com (Scott) — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 13:09:00 +0000

Mark from Portland, Maine wanted to buy his wife something special for Valentine's Day. To help him in his efforts to get the perfect gift, I just sent him a check for $50.

It might not be enough to buy a new diamond necklace, but it could cover the cost of a nice dinner or a really great bunch of roses delivered to her by surprise at work.

Love is in the air Mark. I hope your V-Day was wonderful.

If you'd like to ask for money, just email me and let me know what you need.

It's been a while

noreply@blogger.com (Scott) — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 16:44:00 +0000

It's been quite a long time since I've sent money to anyone. But I'm in a giving mood right now and plan to send out several payments this month. So get those requests rolling in.

Today, I'm sending $250 to Mike C. from Athens, Ohio for college textbook expenses. He works a part time job on the Ohio University campus and pays most of his tuition out of pocket. This gift should help repay the credit card bill he incurred buying a couple books last month.

Good luck Mike.

Merry Christmas

noreply@blogger.com (Scott) — Sun, 23 Dec 2007 21:26:00 +0000

It's just two days until Christmas and I'm all set to give some money away again. This time, I've chosen Michelle T. from Porland, Ore. She said she'd like a nice Christmas gift for herself.

I admire her straightforward request. Michelle will receive $20 in cash for her request!

If you'd like to ask for money, just email me and let me know what you need.

Another beautiful day!

It's the start of the skiing season here and I decided to go snowboarding with a friend last night. It was great! I fell more than I stayed upright, but it was still a blast. I'm so sore!

To celebrate my happy winter mood, I'm giving $31 (the cost of a half day lift ticket at some resorts around here) to Tony P. of Denver, Col.

Tony said he'd like to go skiing but it's very expensive.

Tony, I hope that $31 helps!

The weather is getting colder, but hopefully some free money will help you feel warm

noreply@blogger.com (Scott) — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 17:17:00 +0000

It is starting to get chilly at night here in Ohio. Summer is truly over and fall is beginning to show signs of its appearance - tree leaves are changing color, my garden is beginning to look a bit tired, and even though we're still seeing sunny days, the air has a definite chill to it.

To make myself feel a little warmer today, I'd like to mail out $40 to Mike from Perth, Australia. I believe it is spring time in Australia and he can begin looking forward to the warm days of summer, which I'm sure are just around the corner.

Mike said he'd use his money to buy groceries. Mike, please enjoy your gift and the warmer weather that is sure to come!

Was in Maryland for several days, but now I'm back home and will give away more free money

noreply@blogger.com (Scott) — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 18:57:00 +0000

I traveled to the Atlantic coast of Maryland last Thursday and spent several days seeing the sites and enjoying the last moments of summer weather. If you ever get a chance, I'd suggest stopping at Assateague Island near Ocean City, Md. This combination of a state park and National Seashore is absolutely lovely, especially the population of wild horses, as well as deer, birds and marine life.

Now that I'm back home and back to work, I'd like to give away some money this week. Since I just visited Maryland and had such a nice time, I've selected Selena from Maryland to receive $100 to use to put a payment down on a used car she'd like to purchase.

I can't say how much I appreciate the hundreds of emails I've received since starting this site just a few weeks ago. Your words of encouragement are wonderful. It is this kind of positive response that encourages me to continue to give away money to those who want or need it.

I plan to send more money to someone this weekend. Check back to get the latests updates.

If you'd like to ask for money, just email me and let me know what you need.

Back from the Labor Day weekend. Ready to give away more money.

noreply@blogger.com (Scott) — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 05:09:00 +0000

Well, I was pretty much unavailable all weekend. Here in the U.S., we get a day off of work each to celebrate what's known as "Labor Day." It's a holiday to honor America's working men and women. And to celebrate, many of us use the day to catch up on work around the house, in the yard and even in the office. It's strange how we use our holiday to do more work, isn't it?

Anywhoo, I'm back at the computer and ready to give away some cash. I've received dozens of emails and will read each of them and respond to those who will receive money. In the meantime, I'm sending $5.00 to Albert, who lives near Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He didn't say what the money is intended for. He just was honest ... he wanted to request $5.00 to see if the site was for real. Well Albert, it's real. So is the $5.00 U.S. that you'll get in about 7 to 10 days in the mail.

Thanks!

Gave away $20 yesterday

noreply@blogger.com (Scott) — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 11:39:00 +0000

Things are rolling along nicely here. Another work week is almost over and most of us here in the U.S. have a 3-day weekend, since we have off Monday for the Labor Day holiday.

I'm going to take some time this weekend to relax. I'm also going to devote some time to making improvements to the Giving Away Free Money site, add content, and make this blog look a little more seamless with the rest of the site.

I decided to give away a little more cash yesterday, and may give away more money this weekend too. It was just $20 but it will be used to help buy a birthday gift for a deserving child.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I'll talk to you again soon, and will keep handing out the dollars as long as you keep writing.

If you'd like to ask for money, just email me and let me know what you need.

The requests for free money come rolling in (Day 4)

noreply@blogger.com (Scott) — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 11:56:00 +0000

Well, just three days into this project and suddenly my e-mail box was full of interesting requests from people around the world yesterday. It was a little overwhelming. So if I don't answer everyone all at once, please forgive me. It will take a little time to carefully consider each request, organize them, and then decide which ones to select.

I can tell this is going to be very, very interesting and fun for all of us.

Since I have the chance, I'll share some thoughts and advice that will probably help with your requests.

I received various requests yesterday. Some were for smaller amounts like $50 or $100. Others were for very large amounts, like $10,000 or $20,000.

I understand that some folks' needs are greater than others, and I'll definitely work to help them out. But in order to help the greatest number of people, I can fill more of the smaller requests than the larger ones. Is it possible I could send you $10,000? Yes. But it's much more likely that I'd be able to send you $100 to help with your utility bills or to get a new suit for an interview than for me to fund the purchase of your new home or car.

So carefully consider your request. You've got a much better chance of having your wish fulfilled with smaller requests. Plus remember, you can always come back and ask for more 30 days later.

If you'd like to ask for money, just email me and let me know what you need.

I gave away free money yesterday!

noreply@blogger.com (Scott) — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 10:58:00 +0000

I got a request yesterday afternoon from Mike in California. He asked for some money to buy books for school (college).

He shared that he plans to get a degree in mechanical engineering, and books and materials for this subject get expensive.

While I didn't offer to pay for all of his books, I did offer him $10 toward his needs, which he graciously accepted.

If nothing else, he'll be able to use it for pizza while studying or hanging out.

Usually, I will send gifts via check or money order, especially if they're larger than $20. But this time I opted to mail cash.

I hope to share more stories like this with you soon!

If you'd like to ask for money, just email me and let me know what you need.

Day 2 - All quiet. Headed to work.

noreply@blogger.com (Scott) — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 11:10:00 +0000

Contrary to popular belief, this site is not my full time occupation.

I have to leave for work in about 10 minutes. Another glorious Monday. I think it may be raining outside, although I haven't looked closely yet.

For now, the money pile remains full and waiting for requests.

I hope everyone has a great day, and I'll check back for requests this afternoon.

Day 1 - My money is here for the taking

noreply@blogger.com (Scott) — Sun, 26 Aug 2007 19:38:00 +0000

So today the website has launched. I'm not sure if there's another site out there that gives away free money, but I'm hoping this idea catches on.

If you want money, all you have to do is ask.

And so I, and the money, wait.
