The competition, supported by The Queens Hotel Portsmouth, invited listeners to answer a daily question on air for the chance to enter the draw, giving the Express FM community multiple opportunities to take part in the festive giveaway.

Harrison RB, Content Manager at Express FM, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to have had the support of The Queens Hotel to make this happen for its second consecutive year.

“Being able to give away a cash prize of this size is huge for a non-profit, small-scale community radio station like Express FM. This competition was all about giving something back to our amazing city of Portsmouth and we couldn’t be happier for Elaine - massive congratulations!”

Express FM would like to thank The Queens Hotel Portsmouth for their generous support in making A Grand In Your Hand possible and to everyone who entered and listened throughout the competition.
