WHO DOESN’T LOVE GETTING MONEY FOR FREE?
To celebrate my awesome news and to spread some general cheer (let’s face it, we could all use it), I am giving away $100 USD visa Paypal.
(Instead of giving away an actual prize, I figured I’d give away cash, because who doesn’t love money?)
It all comes right out of my own currently unemployed pocket; no one is sponsoring or partnering with me on this. I’m also paying any Paypal fees, so you get that $100 USD free and clear.
The only requirement is you do need a Paypal account (very easy to sign up for one, worldwide). I am not going to mail anything or wire anything to anyone.
HOW TO ENTER
ENTER HERE … & GOOD LUCK!
(please wait for the Rafflecopter widget to load)
===============================================================
YOUR ODDS OF WINNING ARE BETTER THAN ANY LOTTERY IN THE WORLD
This blog giveaway is free to enter. Not to mention that most people lose 100% of the money they invest spend on lottery tickets, anyway. The $100 USD can be used for anything you want:
- pay off some debt (student debt, is something I know very well about, to the tune of $60,000!)
- stash it away for a rainy day
- start saving for your retirement and invest in index funds
- buy yourself or someone in your life something special (also fun!)
- go out for a great dinner (or three!)
YAY!!!

*SPECIAL ENTRY BONUSES*
$50 USD and $75 USD CASH PRIZES
DEPENDING ON TOTAL ENTRIES
If I get more than 5000 total entries into this contest (5001 entries), I’m giving away an additional $50 USD runner-up cash prize!
But if I get more than 7500 total entries (7501 entries), I’ll give away an additional $75 USD cash prize!
So tell everyone you know about it, because it’ll just mean you’ll have a better chance of winning one of the bonus prizes if you don’t get the big one.
