Background
The whole idea behind this giveaway is to help college students with their textbooks and tuition fees. Based on official Venmo reports, 64% of 2020’s graduating class borrowed $29,000 on average, signaling a 13% increase from the previous decade.
In that giveaway, Venmo and Jack Harlow wanted to help college students in any possible way. Even if the student wasn’t able to win the grand prize, they’d still win something with the spinning wheel.
Before the event, Harlaw tweeted, “I partnered with [Venmo] to give out $100K because college is expensive.”
