Budweiser is hiding 10,000 GOLDEN cans of beer in specially marked packs throughout the U.S. If you find one, you don’t get a magical tour of the Anheuser-Busch factory . . . instead, you get a chance to win $1 MILLION.
But before you get TOO excited, a golden can just “wins” you a CHANCE to win.
You must post a picture of the can to social media correctly to enter: Tag @BudweiserUSA if you’re posting it to Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter . . . and use the hashtags #LiveLikeAKing and #Sweepstakes.
You can enter from now through February 20th. There will be a drawing of the entries on February 21st, and just ONE winner will be announced. Of course, your odds of winning depend on the number of entries received. At worst, it’s a 1 in 10,000 chance.

There’s endless debate over how the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame chooses its inductees . . . and whether or not those inductees are deserving.
Well, Cleveland.com used an actual system that took into account each artist’s appearance on various lists, like “Rolling Stone’s” 500 Greatest Albums of All Time and their 500 Greatest Songs of All Time . . .
As well as the list of 1,001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, and the Rock Hall’s own list of 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
They also factored in every #1 single each act released, and every 10 million albums they sold.
THE END RESULT:
A list of acts that supposedly don’t belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame including KISS, Alice Cooper, Bon Jovi, the Foo Fighters, Stevie Nicks, Jeff Beck, Neil Diamond, George Harrison, and the Jackson 5.
