FAIRFIELD, CA – APRIL 2: Jelly beans sit in a bin waiting to be packaged on the assembly line at the Jelly Belly Factory April 2, 2007 in Fairfield, California. The Jelly Belly Factory produces approximately 14 billion jelly beans a year. With less than a week before Easter Sunday, retailers stock their shelves full of jelly beans, chocolates, and other traditional candies for Easter. (Photo by David Paul Morris/Getty Images)
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 www.thegoldenticket.com you can get a ticket to a scavenger hunt for the necklace in your state. (If the link is not working, it's because the website has been having some connectivity issues.) 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.
