Cry Real Tears Over These $20K Winners And What They’re Spending The $$ On

PEDESTRIAN.TV has partnered with Set for Life to give you the chance to live the primo life. FYI, if you’ve got a side-hustle you wanna amplify, why not give entering our comp with these guys a whirl? You could find yourself winning a luxe weekender in Sydney, where you’ll meet Eleanor Pendleton, founder & editor of Gritty Pretty, plus $5k to kickstart your side-hustle. Get entering at the end of this article (after you’ve read it, of course). 

Winning stuff is cool. But you know what’s even cooler than winning stuff? Winning 20-freaking-thousand-bucks. Hell YEAH to that, right?
We’ve been giving away just that – $20,000 big ones – every month since Feb, thanks to our pals over at Set for Life. And since we all love a feel-good story (slash, like to torture ourselves reading about other people’s great lives), we decided to round up a few of our lucky winners and see what they’re getting up to with their new load of cashola.
TRELAWNEY, 26, MELBS

I’m from Melbourne, I’m 26 and I’ve recently finished studying a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Politics. When I got the call to tell me I’d won the $20k, I was in complete disbelief. It’s really turned my year around after a lot of time spent on balancing university, paid work and volunteering. The boring but sensible part of me has at least half of the money going straight into savings, but the rest I’m having my fun with as we speak.  I’m currently a month into a three month trip backpacking around Europe – in fact I’m writing this response on a train across Norway!

CHRIS, 30, SYD

I’m a 30 year old mortgage broker, and I currently live in Sydney’s Inner West, where I like to hang out with friends, drinking and eating great food around the area.
I was pretty sceptical when I got the call telling me I’d won at first, but I soon realised it was legit. I was still shocked and it didn’t really sink in until after the phone call ended. 
I haven’t spent any of the cash yet, but I’m planning on putting it towards a new car purchase towards the end of the year, when the make I want is released.

ANNABELLE, 20, SYD

I’m 22 and currently live in Sydney, where I study psychology and work in waitressing. I was completely in shock to find out I’d won, I didn’t know how to react! I’m planning on using some of the money to travel, and then I’ll be saving the rest. I’m planning to go to Vietnam first!

By the way – just this month, a dude from Emerald, QLD won Set for Life – where you score $20k every month for 20 freakin’ years. His plans? To pay off his home, travel, and “not work as hard”. We’ll cheers to that.
Wanna be a winner, too? You should enter our latest comp c/o Set for Life. It’s all about your side hustle – win, and you’ll score $5k to go toward your side hustle, plus a luxe weekender in Sydney, where you’ll lunch with Eleanor Pendleton, founder and editor of Gritty Pretty and all-round boss gal.
