If you’ve ever wanted to live in the Willy Wonka movie, here’s your chance!!!!!!

A guy named David Klein is the founder of Jelly Belly jelly beans. He’s getting ready to retire. So he’s giving away one of his candy factories, Willy Wonka style.

Here’s how the contest works. He’s gone to all 50 states and hidden a special necklace in each state. For $50 at TheGoldTicket.com, you can get a ticket to a scavenger hunt for the necklace in your state.

And if you find it, you get $5,000 plus you’re entered in the grand prize drawing, where one of the 50 winners will get the candy factory.

Maybe you’ll get a lesson sung to you by the Oompa Loompas!
