According to JustJared.com, Ellen revealed that the audience would split $1 million.
The talk show host said, “Thanks to every single person in this audience, it is filled with goodness and we have reached one million acts of good because of all of you. So, I wanna do something that we’ve never done before. Hold onto your Cheerios because all of you are splitting one million dollars! That’s a lot of money!”
