If you took to social media at all on Monday, your Instagram stories and Twitter feeds were probably flooded with the logo of popular money-sharing app Venmo.
It wasn't just because your social media connections are obsessed with the app to the point that they just want to talk about it (though they very well might be) — it turns out the social campaign is a part of a monetary giveaway.
Venmoannouncedthat it will be giving away more than $100,000 to be divided up between 100 lucky social media users, 50 from Instagram and 50 from Twitter.
每一个赢家将获得500美元,with the drawing for the two rounds of winners set to take place throughout the day on June 29.
The giveaway will last until the end of the day Monday, and participants must be 18 or older to enter.
The company announced the contest on its Twitter account, where users can enter to win by simply retweeting the company's tweet to their own feed and adding their Venmo handle, the hashtag #VenmoMe and tagging the company.
We're giving out $100,000 today. RT this with your Venmo handle for a chance to win $500.#VenmoMe
