- £500 to charity picked by my 2000000th follower
- £500 to charity of randomly picked existing follower who replies
"So pls reply with a charity, noting if you're a new or already follow."
Whilst stating that they "must have a UK charity number" the financial guru added: "Amazing to see so many great charities mentioned. And also to see those charities responding to people - hope its a positive way to connect the two when the third sector is really struggling at the moment."
It was then one new followers decided he wanted Martin to donate to Doddie's charity - and Martin did just that tweeting: "And this, to the best I could do, is my 2,000,000th follower - getting the final £500 donation as I promised."

One said: "Great stuff, my dad died in August from MND. Thank you for supporting them."
Another added: "A very deserving charity. Had a wee sob at the rugby yesterday seeing Doddie bring the match ball to the pitch again."
