Who doesn’t love a little cash giveaway to kick off a new season? 2026 is here and we’re here to brighten your January up. At MoneyMagpie, we love treating our readers, and this month we’re giving five lucky winners a £10 cash prize each – the perfect pick-me-up to celebrate the start of of the year.
If you’re new here, don’t worry – our giveaways are 100% legit. We’ve run loads of competitions before and have had plenty of happy winners who can vouch for it. Whether it’s free goodies, vouchers, or cold hard cash, we’re always on the lookout for ways to give back to our loyal readers. This latest cash giveaway is just another way to say thank you for sticking with us.
So why not throw your hat in the ring? After all, someone has to win – and it could be you!
We are offering 5 readers £10 each. There are no strings attached at all. Simply comment on the article with what you would spend the tenner on, and then in four weeks, 5 people will be selected to win the money.
MoneyMagpie founder Jasmine Birtles said: “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.’
We will get the money to you in the form of PayPal or an Amazon Voucher.
So, as stated above, for your chance to get your hands on a tenner, just answer ‘what would you spend an extra tenner on this month?’ in the comments below. The comments will close at midnight on January 30, 2025.
We will notify the winners on Feburary 1, 2025 in hope of making their winter that bit cosier.
Good luck. We look forward to hearing your answers.
