Anheuser-Busch is taking a page from Willy Wonka’s playbook.

However, instead of getting a golden ticket that will allow you to tour their brewery, Budweiser drinkers should be on the lookout for a golden can for a chance to win $1,000,000.

Treasure hunters have a couple of different options. The less adventurous can simply print their own golden can wrap at this location and then share it on social, tagging @budweiserusa using the hashtags #LiveLikeAKing and #Sweepstakes.

Or you can hunt for that can like a f**king Viking, drinking copious amounts of Budweiser while pillaging the shelves of liquor stores and supermarkets throughout the land (okay, maybe you should pay for the beer). Just be on the lookout for specially marked packs containing the cans.

The contest is live now and will end on Sunday, February 20, 2022 at 11:59 pm ET. The official rules say that one potential winner will be drawn “on or about” February 21, 2022. Of course, the contest is open to those who are 21-years-old or older at the time of entry.

According to the official rules, buying the beer won’t increase your chances of winning, but that’s no fun. This is your excuse to drink like a fish.

I mean, it’s kind of hard for the wife to get mad at you for drinking a bunch of beer if it’s for a good cause, right?

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery.
