Coors Light and Miller Lite, two beer brands under Molson Coors Beverage Company, have announced a first-of-its-kind advertising campaign for the upcoming NFL championship game. The "High Stakes Beer Ad" contest offers fans the chance to predict every detail of the beer giants' commercial for a chance to win a share of the $500,000 prize pool. Molson Coors and DraftKings, the platform hosting the contest, have filmed multiple different endings to keep the outcome of the ad a secret, even from Molson Coors' CEO.
The contest is free to play and open to people 21 years and older across the United States, excluding Virginia, until February 12th at 3:30 PM ET. The winners will be announced the following morning. This marks Molson Coors' return to the big game after being prevented from advertising during the national broadcast for over 30 years due to a competitor's exclusivity agreement.
