Golden Ticket Contest - Starts July 1st!
Golden Ticket Contest – FAQ
Where can I see the full official rules?
They’re posted right here (below) on our website for you to review anytime.
What is a golden ticket?
A Golden Ticket is a scratch card hidden under the lid of select coffee cans. Every order with a can includes one — while supplies last!
Who can enter?
Legal residents of NS, NB, PEI, NL, and ON who are of legal age in their province.
How do I enter?
Buy a promotional can or combo (each can has a scratch card), or see official rules for no-purchase option.
How many scratch cards do I get?
One per can purchased. Combos with two cans come with two cards.
Can I buy more than one can or combo?
Yes! There’s no limit on how many you can purchase.
What prizes can I win?
Prizes range from a year’s supply of coffee to smaller rewards and consolation items included in every can.
How do I claim my prize?
Follow the instructions on your scratch card to redeem by September 30, 2025.
What if the grand prize isn’t claimed?
It won’t be re-awarded, but we’ll update the website to let everyone know.
What if I don’t win anything? I thought the odds were 2 in 3?
The odds are 2 in 3 across all 300 scratch cards, but since they’re packed randomly, it’s possible (though rare) to hit a streak of “try again” tickets. If you ordered 3 or more cans and didn’t win anything, shoot us a message — we’ll try to make it right.

Odds of Winning
-
Odds of winning any prize: 2 in 3
-
Odds of winning the grand prize: 1 in 300
Please note: Odds are based on the total pool of 300 printed scratch cards. Results for individual purchases may vary. While statistically unlikely, it is possible to receive multiple non-winning tickets in a single order. Prizes are distributed randomly, and the sponsor does not track who receives which prize.
If you ordered three or more cans and didn’t win anything, get in touch — we’ll do our best to make it right.
Fairness & Random Distribution
All scratch cards were randomly inserted into cans prior to sale.
The sponsor does not track which customer receives which prize.
This ensures that all prizes are awarded fairly and at random.
Unclaimed Grand Prize
If the grand prize is not claimed by the deadline, it will not be re-awarded.
An update will be posted after the deadline confirming whether the grand prize has been claimed.
Privacy
Personal information submitted for prize redemption or no-purchase entry will be used solely for administering this promotion.
