How to bag yourself a few million next week...no, really...

Forget the lottery – from next Monday, you can get your hands on a Million for free at your local Essex webuyanycarbranch, no catch, just a nostalgic hit of watermelon flavour and a chance to win real cash.

To mark its 5 millionth customer, the UK's best-known online car buying brand is handing out 10,000 free packs of watermelon Millions – the retro sweet, not the currency – across all 550+ of its branches nationwide, including its twenty branches across Essex.

And while these Millions won't stretch to the car of your dreams, webuyanycar is also giving away £2,500 in cash, split across five lucky winners of £500 each – enough to cover a service, fill up the tank, or fund a weekend away.

How to win: Anyone who picks up a pack next week – customers and general public alike – can enter simply by sharing a photo of their commemorative sweets and tagging webuyanycar on social media.

Louise Badham, marketing director at webuyanycar, said: "It's been a big year for webuyanycar – we turned 20 in March, and now we've welcomed our five millionth customer. We wanted to mark this milestone with something fun, and a way of saying thank you to everyone who's been part of the journey over the last two decades.

"Twenty years in this industry has taught us a lot, but our principles haven't changed: the fastest way to sell your car, with certainty guaranteed and fairness built in. It's a real privilege that five million people across the UK have trusted us with their motors."
