As it's a leap year, we want to make the 29th February extra special with Absolute Radio's biggest ever cash giveaway!
What would you spend £29,000 on?
You could live mortgage-free for a year, or you could buy your dream car. You might want to bunk off work for 12 months, or take that holiday of a lifetime. Alternatively you could buy almost three million 1p sweets. If that's your thing...
We don't care how you spend it, we just want to give it away and make someone's 29th February extra special.
