As an official beer sponsor for the NFL, Bud Light announced a new campaign called #PumpkinPatchPayout that aims to make it a little easier for football fans to enjoy the fall weather over the weekend.
Through the campaign, Bud Light is rewarding football fans who miss out on a Sunday game to get outside and enjoy some time at a pumpkin patch with their loved ones. Fans can enter to win by Tweeting a photo of themselves at a pumpkin patch on Sunday, October 18th, 2020, using the #PumpkinPatchPayout and #BudLightSweepstakes hashtags. If they're selected as the winner, they'll receive a Bud Light-branded mini fridge, which they can stock with a season's worth of complimentary beer.
