For a week the name of Jimmy Donaldson, known on social media as Mr. Beast, went viral. All because, through his official Instagram account, he created a raffle in which all his followers could participate. The content creator’s idea was to celebrate his 25th birthday and that he had managed to reach 150 million subscribers on his YouTube channel. For this reason, the young man was going to distribute $100,000 among 10 lucky winners.
Thousands of people around the world shared the image of the contest, while memes, criticism and ridicule about it arose on social networks.
For some hope was latent, for others it was just a game of chance. But finally the 100,000 dollars have an owner and one of them, although it seemed unlikely, is Venezuelan.
The fifth winner of the $10,000 is Jaime Hernández Terán, a 31-year-old Colombian-Venezuelan living in Mexico. According to her Instagram profile, she is a model, TV and film extra, and business administrator. He is currently married to Rocío Mayela, with whom he has a son who was born in July 2022 and, Like most, he tried the “for not leaving” contest.
His only reaction, after the youtuber’s announcement of the winners, was to share a video on Instagram of the comedian Led Varela, where he said, as a joke: “What makes you think that a Venezuelan would have luck of any kind?” In this case, however, luck was on his side.
The Mr. Beast Contest
Initially the raffle was for $50,000, but it increased to $100,000 due to the huge turnout. The activity was simple: those interested had to share the ‘Giveaway’ photograph in their Instagram stories and comment on the publication.
That first post was a revolution: racked up 10 million Instagram likes and 7 million comments. However, Instagram removed it. According to Mr. Beast, there was no problem because the username of each participant was noted.
Jaime Hernández was not the only Hispanic to win, there were four more people.
