Would You Give Up Your Phone for All of 2019 for $100,000

If you’re thinking, “Heck YES” you might be in luck!

Vitaminwater announced a new contest where they’re going to pay someone $100,000 for giving up their phone for all of 2019.

Seriously . . . do you think you could do it?

If you’re selected, you have to go a full 365 days sans smart phone, ipad OR using anyone else’s smart devices.  Oh, and there’s a lie detector at the end to prove you stuck to the rules.

Don’t worry, Vitaminwater doesn’t want you to be totally SOL in case of an emergency, so they’ll give you a “1996-era cellular telephone” that you can use to still make calls.

Making it through all of 2019 sans smart phone will earn you $100,000, but even if you can only make it 6 months, you’ll still get $10,000.

Here’s how you enter . . . post to Twitter or Instagram on how you’d use your year without a smart device, and include the hashtags #NoPhoneForAYear and #Contest. Deadline is January 8th.
