There are only two items sparking a legitimate frenzy among shoppers this holiday season — and even if you aren’t a gamer, there’s a good chance you’ve heard about what’s fueling the fire.
From SNL skits to brazen scams to giveaways at fast food restaurants, the hunt for a PlayStation 5 or an Xbox Series X gaming console is serious business and the unquestioned focus of this Christmas buying stretch.
Unless you have a lot of disposable income and a willingness to burn it on some truly ridiculous scalper prices, you might just be content to wait out the hysteria and try again to buy one later. Or instead… just take a gamble and enter to win both a PS5 AND an Xbox Series X in the epic Ultimate Gaming Giveaway. Your shot at this incredible prize is not only free but if you’re willing to help out a fantastic charity, you can actually increase your odds to win.
Winning both PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles would be cool enough, but this package is stacked to overflow, featuring everything the winner will need to get the most out of both systems and the entire gaming experience for years to come.
In addition to the consoles, the package also includes 5-year memberships to both PlayStation Plus and the Xbox Game Pass services for full multi-player gaming and all the other benefits of those forums. Meanwhile, the winner also gets a Sony 65-inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV as the new center of their gaming universe.
The collection is rounded out with accessories galore, including a Bose QuietComfort 35 Series 2 Gaming Headset, a Corsair Optical Gaming Keyboard, and a Secretlab TITAN Gaming Chair, a whopping $5,100 package of awesomeness you can take home for the cost of a free online entry submission.
With a haul like that, the excitement to win will undoubtedly be high. However, if you hate leaving a score like this up to chance, you can actually help shift the odds in your favor, all with a donation to the Playing for Change Foundation. Right now, in 10 countries around the world, Playing for Change is making a difference, leading music education programs sparking personal growth and social change in over 2,000 marginalized and at-risk kids.
The programs are created and taught by members of these communities from Cuba and Singapore to Sudan and Thailand — and now, you can help make sure their great work continues.
And your good deed will be rewarded. By donating just $10 to Playing for Change, you’ll earn an extra 100 entries into the contest. Make it $15 — and you’ll have 150 additional chances to win. For $25, you get 250 extra shots at the prize, and for a $50 donation, your name goes into the drawing 500 times.
Go big, help a fabulous cause and get your entries in by the Feb 26, 2021 deadline for your shot at gaming nirvana. Good luck!
