If you want to get technical, yes, but only you know in your heart if you're the kind of player that really needs a handout or not.
You're going to play the heart card.... ugh....

Haha I had this same question. I don’t reAlly need the handout but I am below 1.5 million. It’s always due to breeding.

I felt good about my decision to not participate until I saw some of the people that took the stimulus. It's unfortunate that this generous gift for struggling new players went to so many players that clearly are not struggling. By my count, I believe/think/am guessing that there were at minimum 4 expert players who were given $ as were many more that are advanced players like myself. And that's just the players I could verify. I'm sure there are other players I didn't/couldn't notice.

Hindsight is 20/20 but I guess I should have known this would be abused and should have abused it myself.

Well, I got 2,900 xD I do not complain because I am not really desperate for money, but I though I would try since I am not a rich player. And because I will draw 50% of the portraits part of the donations, I don't have a bad continence for asking for a little donation. Even if it was "only" 2,900 xD The Steward made the right call to give me that amount ^^ I do not complain ^^ I hope all the millions found it's way into lesser accounts who needed it more ^^

And I see it as a hint from the Steward that I have good enough horses who will give me more money in the future xD (HOPEFULLY!)

I want to be clear that I don't blame anyone for taking the money. You, and the other expert players, did the smart thing by taking free money. My point was that I should have also gone with my first instinct and should have found a way to get free money for myself.

Sad that people abused it 💔 on the flip side, it seems people are just going out and spending it and it’s ending back up in rich(er) player’s pockets again anyway 🙃

Just wanted to thank ALL the donators!! Because of you, nearly 100 players got their bank accounts up to $1.5 million on the nose! Someone called it a SIM Stimulus, I liked that!

Time for a Steward auction to take it all away!
