While the main Saturday Night Takeaway competition prize is £100,000 cash and a Takeaway Getaway, This Morning are giving you the chance to win a Takeaway Getaway for four people!

How GMB’s £7,000/Month or £84,000 Lump Sum Works

Question mark symbol made of folded banknotesFebruary 2024 sees a brand new competition launching on GMB And Lorraine, featuring a cash prize worth £84,000 for a lucky winner.

On Good Morning Britain, Andi Peters is presenting it as a new format for the show, which may be true for a competition that’s only running across GMB and Lorraine, but it’s actually not the first time a winner could choose to win a monthly cash prize or a single lump sum.

Back in September and October 2021, ITV ran a competition with what had the potential to be their biggest ever prize, with a total payout potentially totalling £1.2million.

The prize draw back then was marketed to viewers as ‘The Big Decision’ and involved a winner choosing whether to take a lump sum of £1million, or £10,000 a month for 10 years, a total of 120 £10,000 payments, or £1,200,000 in total.

The winner ultimately opted to take the million in one go, so didn’t actually beat the previous million pound winner a couple of years earlier.

This time around, the winner can choose to take £7,000 a month for a year (that’s 12 monthly instalments  of £7,000) or a single £84,000 lump sum. As both totals are the same, it would seem a little odd for anyone to take a monthly option, but who knows what the winner will choose to do?

Going back to The Big Decision in 2021, when the winner faced a choice of £10,000 a month for 10 years or a million pound lump, the decision was more nuanced.

Financial advisers interviewed on the competition segments were quick to point out how the interest would work on investing a million pound lump – paying off a mortgage would quickly produce savings on interest without incurring tax, but most savings investments would involve paying tax on interest.

On the other hand, taking the big lump might allow you to start enjoying your incredible windfall if you were the lucky winner, so the opportunity of the big lump would need to be considered against the extra £200,000 the winner could get over a decade of drip feeding the prize.

With the current prize in February 2024 though, the total prize is the same whichever option you take, so if I was to win, it would be the lump sum every time!

This Morning’s 12 at 12

Prize £6,000 to £12,000
Closing Date 11.20am Monday 26th to Friday 30th June 2023
Question Yes
Online Entry Paid
Postal Entry No

During the week of 26th May to 30th June 2023, This Morning are running another week of their new competition on the show, back for another week’s run.

British paper currencyThe general idea is entrants have an opportunity to win up to £12,000 via a paid entry on the ITV Win website. A winner will be chosen from all the entries to play on the show at midday, and will initially win £6,000 just by being selected to play and answering the phone. The winner will then play a game to increase their win.

The increased prize involves selecting four boxes from 12 in total, with each selection able to win an additional £1,000 on top of the initial £6,000 – giving a maximum possible win of £10,000 in each game at midday, plus a chance to increase the total to £12,000 by answering a question. That’s a total possible prize of £12,000 each day – hence the name 12 at 12!

What Time Is Free Cash Friday?

It’s grown into something that you even hear people talking about when you’re out and about, laughing about the surprise in a winner’s voice, or why so many people fail to answer the phone.

Free Cash Friday runs on Good Morning Britain between 8.15am and 9.00am on Fridays when the competition is run, and between 9.30am and 10.00am on Lorraine Kelly’s show.
