WIN A Grand In Your Hand this Christmas from The Queen's Hotel

You could be ONE THOUSAND POUNDS better off this Christmas with A Grand In Your Hand from The Queens Hotel in Express FM's biggest EVER cash giveaway!

Whether you’re feeling the pinch after an expensive month, or left your Christmas shopping until the very last minute, this much-needed Christmas bonus would have your festive season covered.

The competition launches on Friday 5th December when we’ll ask you the first of fourteen questions, one per day, right up until Thursday 18th December.

To give yourself the best chance of winning, you can enter the draw once every day between the 5th and 18th December (a maximum of fourteen entries) by submitting the correct answer to each day’s question on the Grand In Your Hand page at expressfm.com.

The questions will not be published anywhere other than when we read it out on the radio, first at 7:10am weekdays and 8:10am weekends - but have no fear if you don't catch it at that time as we'll be repeating it throughout the day on Express FM!

Ian James will then pull the name of our lucky winner out of a stocking at 8:10am on Friday 19th December and call them LIVE on Express Breakfast. If you answer within five rings, you could be £1,000 richer this Christmas, thanks to our amazing friends at The Queens Hotel Portsmouth!
