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 use the much needed money to give as a present to one of my great nieces and nephews.
I would put it towards my dogs vet bill
Put it towards 1 of my credit cards payments.
What would you spend an extra £5 on.
I would purchase 2x good to go bags. Help the family with the food. Save good food going into land fill.
Win win situation
I’d use it to put towards nappies for my newborn
Toothpaste to keep as spare. ..because we daily need it and can not go without it
I’d put it in my bills account…every little helps.
Some cupcakes for my son’s birthday
I would treat my friend to a nice coffee and piece of cake – she could use a little pick-me-up as things haven’t been easy for her lately.
Thank you.
I would spend the money on a Greggs lunch with my cousin on my way home from work as I haven’t seen him and his wife for about 20 years, and this is a rare chance of a catch up. As we don’t live in same location, they are visiting.
