On Sydney’s 10401 2Day FM breakfast show, Hughesy, Ed & Erin, Hughesy travelled out to the Sydney suburb Hammondville to deliver listener Lisa a brand-new car and a $10,000 cheque.

Winning the vehicle by playing 2Day FM’s Alphabucks, Lisa opened the boot to find Hughesy in the back holding the $10,000 cheque. 

In a turn of events, Lisa’s neighbour Laura played Alphabucks earlier that day and missed out on a brand-new Hyundai and $10,000 by one question.

2Day FM’s Alphabucks is giving away 10 cars in 10 weeks as well as $10,000 in cash. That’s an overall prize pool of $600,000 in cars and cash guaranteed to be won by lucky Sydney listeners.

To play, listeners need to tune in during 2Day FM’s Hughesy, Ed & Erin Breakfast show from Monday 11 July at 6am, 7am and 8am, and all day until 3pm, listening out for a cue to call in. Then listeners simply answer 10 questions in 30 seconds all starting with the same letter to win a brand-new car and a stack of cash.

No one walks away empty-handed, with everyone picking up $100 cash just for playing.

A post shared by Hughesy, Ed & Erin (@hughesyedanderin)

 

2Day FM content director, Mathew Eggleston, said: “Alphabucks is our listeners’ favourite game to play every morning with Hughesy, Ed & Erin and now they have the chance to not only win $10,000 but also one of 10 brand new Hyundai Tuscon’s.”

Erin Molan said: “I suggested they just use the cash to bolster Hughesy’s tiny salary but clearly the bosses love our listeners more than us, and so they should! We love changing lives on this show! We are very, very lucky to have the opportunity to do so.”

Listen to Hughesy, Ed & Erin from 6-9am weekdays on 104.1 2Day FM or via LiSTNR.
