Papa John’s is giving away a gold pepperoncini worth $10K to one lucky customer

There’s not much in life that beats a fresh, hot pizza … unless you’re a Papa John’s customer who receives a pizza with a side of $10,000.

That’s right — just in time for the New Year, Papa John’s is giving away $10,000 in celebration of its new rewards program. In the style of Willy Wonka, the $10,000 comes in the form of — wait for it — a Golden Pepperoncini!

It’s no joke — check out this tweet from Papa John’s showing just how they made it:

All you have to do for your chance to win is register for a Papa Rewards account, then place an order of $5 or more online or via the Papa John’s app — or submit an entry via mail by Jan. 6. Every customer gets one entry during the promotional period.

Along with the golden pepperoncini, the grand prize will also get a year’s worth of Papa John’s food! As if you needed another reason to order up some pizza.

The company will select all potential winners in a random drawing on or about January 14, 2019. While the odds of winning depend on the number of people who enter the contest, there is also a first-prize winner who will get a year of free pizza. The prize will be awarded in the form of Papa Dough, which will be deposited on a weekly basis ($12 in Papa Dough per week for a total of $624 in Papa Dough for the entire year).

Another 1,000 people will win $15 in Papa Dough, 100 will win $50, 10 people will win $100 and five pizza-lovers will win $250. The Papa Dough can be used online, in the app or at participating locations.
