ijustlovepuzzles has a clear plan for her $30K: teeth first, puzzles next. The streamer, known online for her puzzle-making content, told TMZ she plans to use money from Kai Cenat’s Streamer University to get her teeth fixed.

The creator, who goes by Gma, said the prize came after she stopped to help someone she believed was a janitor. According to her account to TMZ, the man had knocked over a cart of books, and she was the only person who helped clean it up.

That helpful moment turned into the big reveal. TMZ reported the man was actually Zachery Dereniowski, the influencer known online as MD Motivator, taking part in a setup tied to Streamer University.

How did ijustlovepuzzles win $30K?

According to TMZ, Dereniowski and Kai Cenat teamed up to award Gma $30,000 after she helped with the staged book-cart mess. Because no one else stepped in, the full prize went to her.

Gma told TMZ the money will go toward dental work, a goal she can now tackle after the viral boost. She also said she made an additional $18,000 from new subscribers she gained after her Streamer University exposure.

That extra subscriber money is part of a wider plan. Gma said she wants to launch a puzzle company of her own, turning her online puzzle passion into a business.

Who is ijustlovepuzzles?

ijustlovepuzzles is a streamer whose online persona centers on puzzles and puzzle-making. TMZ reported she is also known as Gma, a name that fits the grandmotherly identity she uses with her audience.

Her rise got a serious jolt through Kai Cenat’s Streamer University, where the prize moment and the attention around it brought her new followers and paid subscribers.

Gma told TMZ she wants her future puzzle business to emphasize diversity. She also said she hopes to share part of the company’s earnings with people who need financial help.

The immediate attention has also brought collaboration offers, according to Gma. She told TMZ those opportunities come with complications, though the outlet directed viewers to its video interview for her explanation.

For now, the streamer’s breakout moment has given her two concrete next steps: fix her teeth and build a puzzle brand. By her account to TMZ, one small act of kindness at Streamer University turned into the cash and attention to start both.
