888 + 88 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 1000.
I then took a another look at it to see if there was another way to solve it. Since all the digits are 8, the only way to get 8s to sum to 1000 or any other number that has a 0 in the ones column, is to to have five 8s in the ones place. And the only way to get five numbers with an 8 in the ones place is to add a three digit # plus a two digit # + one digit # + one digit number + one digit #.
