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.
A Back to netball session, so I could start up with team sports again, to help with fitness and mental health
A drink for my Mum when we go away on holiday
Some locally grown strawberries.
I’d spend it on my grandchildren, who I look after in the school summer holidays
I would put this towards the fees to learn something new that will help increase my meagre income to a level more comfortable and therefore sustain myself in the future too.
I’m a swimmer
and a slimmer –
So entry to the pool
(not a stawberry fool)
is how I’d spend the cash,
… Sensible, not rash 🙂
On some cat toys/food for the stray cat that we found in our garden and who has decided to live with us
I would spend it on a football or some tennis balls for our two grandsons because they love chasing a ball around our garden, throwing it into a basketball net, and throwing balls for each other to catch or bat to each other. Their laughter is so uplifting for us and our neighbours.
