**A competition has launched that aims to raise £20,000 for a cancer charity by 
offering people the chance to win £1m in time for Christmas.**

Andy White and Carl Davies set up the [Win One Million Pounds competition](https://www.winonemillionpounds.co.uk/about)
after both of them had parents and other family members develop forms of cancer.

The entry fee is £2 per ticket with multiple entries allowed, and requires the answering
of a multiple choice question. The closing date for entries is December 21st 2017.
[Entries](https://www.winonemillionpounds.co.uk/enter-competition) are limited to
600,000, and if they hit this target they will donate £20,000 to a cancer charity
chosen by the winner.

If the competition does not meet its goal of selling 600,000 tickets, a draw will
still take place with a 20% deduction from the sales going to cover costs and the
charitable donation with the whole of the remaining 80% being the prize. Depending
on the success of the project, the pair hopes to run the main competition on a regular
basis as well as offering free to enter cash prize competitions.
