Ellen Gives Her Audience $1 Million

Yes, you read that right. Ellen DeGeneres recently made people’s dreams come true—just for attending a taping of her talk show. As previously reported Ellen turned 60 and hosted a series of special b-day episodes. On the final day of her birthday week, the host gave out the biggest prize she’s ever gifted; $1 million.

“Everybody in the audience is here for a special reason. All season long, I partnered with Cheerios to encourage people to do ‘One Million Acts of Good’ and if you’re here in my audience, you helped us reach that goal,” said Ellen.

“There’s no better way for me to celebrate my birthday than to share it with people like you.”

After telling them that gift would be given to the people with a Cheerios box under their seat (everyone had a box), Ellen broke the news that every single person in attendance would receive part of a $1 million check.

“You’re all gonna share this gift,” she added. “It’s the biggest gift I have ever given anybody ever, and I hope you continue to pay it forward and share all the good. Hold on to your Cheerios because all of you are splitting $1 million.”

Must be very, veryyyy nice.
