Right folks, I need you to get your thinking caps on for me. I've been set an Apprentice style challenge in work. I am being given £10 and need to turn that into as much money as possible by the end of September. 

The ideas suggested so far are yer usual things like a bake sale or a raffle, it can also be something that doesn't cost anything (throwing wet sponges at the management kinda thing). 

What I'm hoping is that someone here might have done something similar or heard of somehing that I could steal. 

Any suggestions?

You could buy lottery tickets, granted, a quick bit of mental arithmetic put the odds of losing money at about 83% (okay, I may have used a calculator, well Python actually), and the chance of ending up with what you started with is about 13%, so that leaves a nice 4% within which you could significantly increase your money.

Buy cake ingredients. Make cakes. Sell cakes for more than the cost of the ingredients. Repeat.
