You might know a few people who are participating in "Dry January," where one abstains from alcohol the entire first month of the year.

A yogurt brand called Siggi's drew inspiration from Dry January on a commitment that can actually net you a nice bit of pocket change, you just have to give up your smartphone.


Yes, if you give up your smartphone for an entire month, Siggi's will pay you $10,000!

According to FOX Business, Siggi's says hey're doing it because the average person spends 5.4 hours on their phones each day, and they "believe in the power of living a simpler life with fewer distractions."

And you won't be totally disconnected from the world, either.  Siggi's will give each participant a one-month pre-paid phone so you're not totally without a phone.

Hopeful candidates can apply on Siggi's website HERE.  Winners will be announced by February 15th, though it's unclear when the actual "digital detox" will actually begin.
