Some Reddit users are wondering whether Google is giving away money. It certainly would be a new business plan for the company and somehow, we don’t think that investors in the stock would take too kindly to such a strategy. Of course, you know that Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai didn’t wake up one morning feeling generous enough to share Google’s wealth with some Pixel users.
Google accidentally rewards some Pixel users by sending them cash
Some Pixel users received a notification stating that Google sent them some cash
Besides seeing a notification informing you that you are the accidental recipient of cash from Google, you can find if you are as lucky as some of the other Pixel users by opening the Google Pay app, tapping on the “View deals” tab and if you have received money from Google, it should show up there.
One recipient received $1,072 from Google that he is being allowed to keep
After one Reddit user said that he received $240 from Google, another wrote, “Very nice! You got me beat by $15… I was on my way to get my windshield replaced and then a crap ton of notifications kept popping up as I’m waiting at the shop. when the dust settled $225. I’m not going to complain.” One of the largest amounts was received by a stunned Redditor who could only write, “$1072. Why? How?”
Google sent an email to recipients of its accidental largesse
Don’t feel bad if you did not receive any money from Google. The process apparently was random and those who received money from the search giant had their accounts chosen by the luck of the draw. If you were one of the lucky ones who did receive the cash, you might want to hold it aside since Google has a few devices that it plans to release later this year including the Pixel Tablet, Pixel 7a, Pixel 8 line, Pixel Watch 2, and the Pixel Fold.
