What can you win in the new This Morning competition?

Viewers have the chance to win a whopping £1 million in the new competition.

However, it comes with a bit of decision.

Will you take the lump sum or will you opt for £10,000 a month for 10 years? The latter would mean you end up with £1.2m.

Andi explained: “It is our biggest competition prize ever.

“We’ve called it the big decision because you’ll have one simple decision to make. We’ll provide you with a £1m prize. £1m could be yours, that’s right, all of it.

“We literally put it in your bank account,” he added.

He then revealed: “Or will you decide to take this? £10,000 every month for 10 years. That’s right, £10,000 every month for 10 years.

“That means technically you’d win £1.2m pounds.”

How did viewers react to the competition?

The questions came thick and fast on Twitter, with some viewers admitting they felt a bit “confused”.

One said: “So does that mean if you win one of the big cash prizes and you don’t answer the phone the prize goes to somebody else? Sorry bit confused @thismorning.”

Another asked: “Million Pound Decision… So what happens if you take 10k a month and you die? Does it pass to next of kin like the Camelot one?”

A third tuned into GMB and accused Andi of telling a little white lie.

“Why are you saying @GMB giving away a £1m when it’s across all 4 daytime TV programs on ITV? Clearly a fib.”

Another called the host out after he said it was the biggest cash prize in ITV history, with one viewer pointing to the prize on Who Wants to be a Millionaire?.

Schofe tries to clear up the confusion

Phillip Schofield attempted to clear up some of the confusion during the segment on This Morning.

“When do I make the decision?” he asked Andi.

“October, when we close the lines and somebody wins,” he confirmed.

“If you win, we phone you from a withheld number, so you have to answer the phone.

“And then we say would you like the million or £10,000?”

The This Morning website states the prize draw runs across its daytime schedule and closes at 4pm on Friday October 22.
