That's unlikely. Everyone got the same amount, but taxation which (eventually) pays for it, is progressive. Someone with no income will pay aa few % in sales taxes etc when they spend the cheque. As you go up the income ladder, others will have to cover the costs with, for example, their income tax.

People with average income will have to pay back 100% of it, which is not too easy to make investing it. At the 10% pecentile, you're expected to cover for about three people.
