"This is done in order to reward our readers for help in time of need. In December 1975, I was forced to raise the price of Hustler. We had no advertising support, which is used by our competitors, and we had no idea if we will be able to survive. But we know one thing: we don't want to be sold to advertisers. Hustler readers overcome this period, as always. We grew and prospered. I always wanted to thank my readers. At first I thought I can do it, suggested to the government the money to start change in society. Last year I tried to give President Jimmy Carter $ 1 million to re-establish the Commission on obscenity and pornography and to get to the true essence of erotic materials. But I returned the money. Then I have proposed to Congress more than $ 1 million to conduct a study on sexual violence against children. While my offer is ignored. Therefore, I decided to give 1 million dollars to the readers of Hustler, which will be selected at random.
