We Give Away $50 a Month, Here Is How That Works

How ours works

One winner a month, $50, picked at random from followers. No purchase, no form, no "send us your bank details to verify".

We announce and contact the winner through our own account. We will never ask you to pay a fee, click a payout link, or send OTPs or card numbers to claim anything.

We publish the winners too, see the July 2026 draw.

The reason it exists is straightforward: we are a food and events account, and the people who follow us are the people who show up to the things we cover. Giving $50 back monthly is cheap compared to what an ad costs, and more fun.

How to spot a fake giveaway

The tells are consistent and worth knowing, because giveaway impersonation on Instagram is constant.

A second account DMs you saying you won. Check the handle character by character. Scammers use lookalikes with an extra letter or an underscore.

There is a fee to claim. There is never a fee. A giveaway that asks for money to release a prize is a scam, every single time.

They want card details, OTPs or your bank login. No legitimate giveaway needs any of those to pay you $50.

Urgency. "Claim in 30 minutes or it goes to someone else" is pressure, not policy.

If you are unsure, reply on the original post rather than in DMs, and check that the account contacting you is the one you actually follow. More about what we do at what Eventful actually runs.

How do I spot a fake Instagram giveaway?
