No more prize that’s “value” at $6000. It is pure $6000 cash! A huge contest prize from John Chow and XR.com. Of course not all cash go to your pocket. The concept is “Give and you shall receive” if you don’t know.

Cash $5,000 would go to the charity of your choice and $1,000 will go to you to spend however you want. If I win, I would give the $5K to World Vision and I would put the $1,000 to buy my first laptop.

Why choose World Vision? Because the charity fund can benefit more people. It cost $35 to sponsor a child per month. With $5000, we can sponsor 142.85 children for the month. I don’t mind to cash out my own money to round up for 143 children if I win.
