On April 1, National Burrito Day, Chipotle will give away $100,000 in free burritos and $100,000 in Bitcoin. This occasion makes Chipotle the first U.S. restaurant brand to offer a cryptocurrency giveaway to consumers.<\/p>\n
(NEXSTAR) Chipotle is giving away $100,000 worth of burritosandBitcoin in celebration of National Burrito Day, but youll have to play to snag a freebie.<\/p>\n
Chipotle says the contest is the first time a restaurant brand has given away cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n
Ten-thousand people will win one free burrito, 50 will win $500 worth of Bitcoin and three lucky individuals will get $25,000 in Bitcoin, the company said in a press release.<\/p>\n
To win, you must visitthis websitewhen it goes live Thursday, and then youll have ten chances to guess a six-digit code.<\/p>\n
If players are unsuccessful in their ten attempts and endure they may be surprised and delighted with a special offer from Chipotle, the release said.<\/p>\n
The game was inspired by Stefan Thomas, the founder and CEO of Coil,who famously cant remember the passcodeto a hard drive that stores $387 million in Bitcoin.<\/p>\n
Thomas holds a small hard drive called an IronKey that controls access to a digital wallet containing 7,002 Bitcoin, theNew York Timesreported.Forgotten password stands between man and $240M Bitcoin fortune<\/p>\n
But Thomas cant seem to figure out the password and he only has two more chances to get it right. The IronKey only allows users ten guesses.<\/p>\n
Thomas said he lost the paper where the password was written years ago. Hes already tried eight of his most commonly used passwords.<\/p>\n
I would just lay in bed and think about it, Thomas told the Times. Then, I would go to the computer with some new strategy, and it wouldnt work and I would be desperate again.<\/p>\n
On Twitter, Thomas called the saga a painful memory and said he hopes others can learn from my mistakes.<\/p>\n
Test your backups regularly to make sure they are still working. An ounce of foresight could have prevented a decade of regret, he said.<\/p>\n
One Bitcoin is currently worth $58,628.<\/p>\n
