YouTube megastar MrBeast has revealed a $1 million giveaway set to take place during this year’s Super Bowl. However, he revealed it with an elaborate troll.
Beyond his viral philanthropic videos and hit Prime Video series, MrBeast is best known for giving away stacks of cash. Whether it be for folks stuck in traffic or contestants fighting to endure lengthy trials, many of his most popular concepts revolve around giveaways.
This year, it appears MrBeast is using the Super Bowl for his next big giveaway idea. As teased on Instagram, the social media celeb wants your help to give $1 million away during the Big Game.
So what exactly does it mean, and how can you win? Well, none of that is clear for the time being, as he announced it all with an elaborate troll.

“Please help if you care about me,” MrBeast’s February 2 Instagram post stressed in the caption. The accompanying video is utter chaos as everything from a basketball game to a boxing match plays out behind him. Oh, and there are cows, jugglers, a bear costume, and all sorts in between.
As it’s all going down, MrBeast is dead center, holding a series of signs that read: “Help me help you win 1 Mil at the Big Game.”
Don’t bother scribbling down the first letter of each sentence for clues, we already wasted our time there.
Ending the video, he holds up one final sign with an enormous passage of text on it. Just so you can read it all clearly, here’s the message in full:
“I’m trapped and shaking. Trying to remember where I am. Hoping someone listens. I can’t see exits. Sounds lie. Maybe this reaches you. Every breath hurts. Anxiety spikes. Nothing feels real. Still I talk.
“No windows. Only dark. Time warps. Head ringing. I can’t think. Nerves frayed. Goodness help me. I keep whispering.”
“Just in case. Unknown footsteps pass. Silence answers. Terrifying. Walls close in. Air thin. Nails scrape. Trying to focus. Every mark matters. Desperate.
“Take this seriously. Observe closely. What you’re reading. All of it. Seems urgent. Tense. Enough.
“You’re still here. Obviously reading. Unaware, right?”
“Time slipped. Ironic. Maybe smile. Ending now. Laughter feels earned. Oddly enough. Linger on that.
Naturally, our minds went to an acronym. That’s a lot of stopping and starting to fit more capital letters in after all. But alas, MrBeast thought of that, and it turns out, the acronym is one giant troll.
“THIS MEANS NOTHING I JUST WANTED TO WASTE YOUR TIME LOL,” is what the first capital of every sentence spells out.
So for now, we have nothing else to go off. It’s unclear how exactly the million bucks might be given away, nor when during the Super Bowl you’ll need to tune in. But if we had to hedge our bets, we’re guessing all the ‘distractions’ in the background carry crucial details.
We’ll be sure to keep you updated during the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 8 when the New England Patriots take on the Seattle Seahawks.
