MONEY GIVEAWAY: Get Your Hands on Some Free Money
Vicky Parry
18th Jul 2023
Money Giveaway: The cost of living crisis is really getting people down now. With a record number of people taking on second jobs and people frantically googling ‘quick ways to make cash’, we at MoneyMagpie have again decided to put our hand in our pocket and offer some help to readers.
Last year we offered you all a chance to get your hands on a no strings attached free £5 and over 300 of you entered.
Therefore we are again offering 20 readers £5. There are no strings attached at all. Simply comment on the article with what you would spend the fiver on, and then in two weeks, 20 people will be selected to win the money.
MoneyMagpie founder Jasmine Birtles says: ‘It really doesn’t feel much in the greater scheme of things, but if it helps a few people then we are more than happy to step in. We have had a record number of people writing in and asking us how to access quick cash, and in reality there aren’t many ways that are safe to the consumer. Therefore we just wanted to offer them a chance. We are strongly against gambling so didn’t want our readers to go there, therefore it’s simply cash.’
So, as stated above, for your chance to get your hands on a fiver, just answer ‘what would you spend an extra fiver on this month?’ in the comments below. The comments will close at midnight on August 1, 2023.
We will notify the winners on August 2, 2023.
Good luck. We look forward to hearing your answers.
I would go out for a meal using my tesco vouchers and tip the waitress with the £5
A meal @ Burger King
I’d spend it on a Zumba class
Treat myself to a book from Amazon
I would like to put it towards a meal for a dear friend who has put up with me while I’ve had covid this past week and probably been unbearably moody, changeable and sad.
I’d buy 2 x £2.50 Greggs gift cards and give them to a couple of local homeless people so they could have a bite to eat and a drink.
I’d spend it on an ice cream treat for myself and friends.
Veg and flower seeds for next yesr.
I’d buy a bottle of wine to give to my parents as me and the kids down to stay with them for a week in August!
I would buy a nice bottle of wine and share with my friend.
