If you give away money it will just devalue the currency by whatever portion of money supply it represents.

As well there is no guarantee it will be spent on bills or for anything practical.

In fact I feel if you gave everyone in the USA a million dollars today there would be a great many who would have blown through it by the weekend. There would also be those few who would double it. Poverty will never be fixed by throwing money at it, it's more complicated than that.
