SOUTH YORKSHIRE WINNERS:

Sheffield mum Olesia Tartakovski and Rotherham man Mark Carew know the winning feeling with Tengi - they've both each won £1,000 cash prizes.

Olesia gave half away to help children of war victims in her Ukrainian homeland over Christmas.

It will provide books, toys and most importantly clothes for children, many of them left homeless, living in sub zero temperatures.

The rest she planned to spend on her own two young children, including a trip to London.

Rotherham man Mark Carew is also a £1,000 Tengi winner.

Tengi allows users to send free texts, with emoticons, stickers, photos, video and audio. It is described as ‘the app that gives back’ and ‘Whatsapp with cash prizes’.

Olesia said: “Tengi is brilliant. A great app. I don’t gamble or even do the Lottery. I signed up because it is a free text service and we have set up a group for parents at school. It’s a very convenient way for us to talk together. The bonus is it gives away cash prizes every week just for using it. I couldn’t believe it when I won.”

Tengi founder Neil Laycock, former CEO of internet service provider Plusnet, hopes her story will encourage others to sign up.

He explained how the more friends you have on Tengi and the more you use it, the more virtual tickets you get for each draw. During the super draw you get 16 tickets for every new contact sign up.

Tengi knows if they are in your contacts list, simply by matching numbers once a friend downloads and installs the app.

He said: “We don’t sell anyone’s data. We make money from advertising and selling merchandise, then give away 50 per cent of our revenue. It’s taking the app world by storm.”
