Sponsored Spinathon at Fitness Firsts across London in March Ticket to a Million!! The aim of the site is to raise $2m by selling 1,000,000 pixels of advertising space on its website, then to divide this $2m into half - $1m will be given to someone who has registered on the site, the other $1m will be awarded to various charities. Specifically, $0.5m will go to five affiliated charities while the remaining $0.5m will be split between five other charities voted for by people who register and of which Build Malawi is one! So to be in with a chance of winning $1,000,000 and to help raise $1,000,000 for charity all you have to do is: - Visit www.tickettoamillion.com
Easy! It costs nothing (yes it really is FREE!) to enter, and only takes a few seconds to register - so please give it a try, it may even make you rich!! Also it may be of interest to people who are looking to advertise on the internet, as a website of a similar nature proved to be very successful.
