I saw this tourney too... sounds really cool.
As yet, I can't find any info on how to qualify for it, but as it's part of their "100 Billion Hands" promotion, and you need a ticket to buy-in, I'm guessing you'll either need to earn a certain amount of FPPs on live tables throughout June, or take part in some of their Milestone Hands.
Deposit $50 or more using bonus code ‘ULTIMATE’ for an Ultimate Freeroll entry ticket (one per player) Deposit from $10 to $49.99 using bonus code ‘SNG’ and get free entry to a 6-Max Sit & Go Ultimate Freeroll satellite. The satellite winner will progress to the Ultimate Freeroll tournament. You can deposit once per week (Monday to Sunday) to maximise your chances of qualifying. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They also say: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trivia Freerolls
Think you know your PokerStars trivia? Put your knowledge to the test in 100 special Trivia Freerolls, where the top-50 finishers will be rewarded with an Ultimate Freeroll ticket. The password-protected Trivia Freerolls will require players to answer a trivia question on the history of PokerStars to enter.
You can find all 100 Trivia Freerolls in the PokerStars lobby, listed under ‘Tourney’ > ‘Freeroll’. They take place daily from June 5-29 at 09:00, 12:00, 15:00 and 18:00 ET. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My question is: Where I have to answer that trivia question to recieve the password? I see now only 10 players are registered for that freeroll. How they did it? May be with depositing $50 with the ULTIMATE code.

From the rules you have pasted here its no hard to understand that unless there is another way they got their entry by depositing money. Qualifying freerolls start on June 5th from the above so...
Im not gonna bother too play the qualifiers just gonna deposit this freeroll should reach the maximum of 150000 maybee pokerstars should involve the pros and place bountys on their heads ??? gl gg

Don't know exactly how the password thing will work,....but I imagine the Facebook Freerollers and the Facebook pages they post and get passwords from, will figure out a way to post up all the passwords you'll need to get in......
Just saw that and I think this is a really great initiative by pokerstar but also saw that you need a ticket to take part into that tourney... does someone know how to get that tickets or if I'm wrong and it's only gonna be a password required?
thanks for letting me know.. still plenty of time to get to that one
You're probably going to have to deposit X amount to be able to get a ticket. That way they give away 1 million but they make more in the long run with the rake
Anyways, it's still a nice promotion because some people are going to win big witch is nice...

Posted by rafiko1: The freeroll prize structure is amazing. 1100th place is already guaranteed of $100. I'm surely gonna participate in this one.
I think all of mobsters except me will participate at this freeroll because there is a lot of free money but if you think they make this freeroll for all players deposit and generate rake.. pokerstars will be +EV after this freeroll

Pokerstars is +EV no matter what, Doarulle. The casino always wins, everytime. Especially with poker, because they can't lose - they only take rake. Does it mean you should quit playing poker online? No, because you want to win your money against the other players, even though it's less than maximum (because of the rake paid).
In terms of EV compared to other tournaments, this freeroll is ++EV. You pay nothing and still can win big money.
