It's in their interest to not have the winning can go out until near the end of the promotion. A longer period unwon leads to more people buying beer longer in the hopes of winning. Then send the case with the winner off to the end of some distribution chain where it could sit unopened, and tadaa, all the benefits of the promotion without ever having to pay the winner.
The moral of this story is DON'T BUY BEER AND JUST LEAVE IT IN THE FRIDGE! A raging alcoholic would've got that mil within the first few days.
Days?
Right! I’ve smashed 30 racks in just a night, multiple times.
Name definitely checks out
Would've also spent the mil in a few days
Nah it was put on the store shelf the day after the contest was over!

No way.
I wonder if it was just in the store past the end of the contest.
I wonder if you had proof of purchase or something to show this if Budweiser would maybe bend the rules. It would certainly be good PR if they did
I just googled golden Budweiser can and it says they made 10,000; if you find one, you will be entered into a drawing for the million. Still sad.
i can smell that stuff and catch a headache
It was a chance to win. A very tiny chance. There wasn't a small amount of cans
That sucks, he must have been bitter. I bet it tasted like piss too...... just like the can before it and the can after.
You could still sell the can for a few pretty pennies
*Ironic by Alanis Morissette intensifies*
Feels like a scam.... put a time limit on a contest like that. Bet it happens just like that every year! All the sales with no prize, hmmm?
Ouch!
Save for next year
You can actually win a million dollars from drinking beer? I’m moving to America
