I assume you are all aware of the 40 billion hand celebration going on at stars. Every so often they will deal out a milestone hand. During this time they give out cash. How do i get some of it? A person in chat at one of my tables told me you just had to win a hand while the milestone hand was out. It doesn't matter if you are actually at the table where it is being dealt. Another person told me that you have to actually be at the table where the hand is dealt and you will get a instant bonus based on how much rake you have payed in that session. I've played a couple thousand hands during the F40 promo and i ain't got a single penny. Save for the money i've won at the table.

F40: Milestone Hands
There will be cash prizes across all our cash game tables in the days leading up to the 40 billion Mega Milestone hand. Players dealt into every millionth hand will win a cash prize of $40 for every VPP they earned in the previous 40 hands played on that table. Because PokerStars wants everyone to be a winner, an extra VPP will be awarded to all players dealt in - this means you’ll win a minimum of at least $40. The winner of the hand will also get their cash prize doubled!
NOTE: The Milestone Hands will begin with hand number 39,601,000,000 and end with hand 40,000,000,000.
Example:
You are playing at a $1/$2 table and get dealt into a milestone hand. PokerStars calculates that in the last 40 hands at that table you have earned 31 VPPs. Add that to the extra VPP that all players dealt in are awarded, and you have a total of 32 VPPs. This means you’ll win $1,280 (32 x $40). Go on to win the hand and this will be doubled to $2,560 (2 x $1,280).
When the big 40 billion Mega Milestone is reached, all players dealt in will be rewarded $400 for every VPP earned in the previous 40 hands (calculated same as above, including the bonus VPP for all players dealt in). The winner of the Mega Milestone will also have their prize money doubled - which could mean a grand total of tens of thousands of dollars!
Example:
Using the same scenario as above, you’d now win $12,800 for being dealt into the 40 billionth hand (32 x $400). Win the hand and this will be doubled to $25,600.
Please Note: In the event of a split pot - if the hand is a tie or the game being played is Hi/Lo - all winners of the hand will have their prize money doubled. This applies only to the main pot in the hand, as side pots are not included.
