Chili’s is offering a lifetime supply of free burgers

If Popeye’s burger-loving friend Wimpy is your sprit animal, boy does Chili’s have a contest for you.

The fast-casual chain is offering one lucky winner a lifetime supply of free burgers. (Technically, you’ll get a 40-year supply of burgers, in the form of $31,200 in Chili’s gift cards, as well as a $10,296 cash payment to cover the taxes that go with the prize. If you’ve still got a burger hankering after that, you’re on your own.)

If you’re curious about the math on that, figuring an average cost of $9 for a burger at Chili’s, that works out to a little more than 3,400 burgers—or about 1,733 pounds of ground beef (basically two cows' worth). So, winners might want to begin shopping for a good cardiologist.

First, though, you need to win those burgers. To do that, you’re going to need hand-eye coordination.

Chili’s has updated the classic arcade video game BurgerTime to create Chili’s Big Smasher BurgerTime, where you’ll need to create as many burgers as you can while dodging enemies and dancing in your chair to an eight-bit version of Chili’s Baby Back Ribs song. The spoils of victory go to the person who gets the highest score in the game.

The first-, second-, and third-prize winners will also receive a Chili’s Big Smasher BurgerTime game cabinet. 250 other prize winners will get a $15 gift certificate.

It will likely not come as a rollicking shock that Chili’s is also introducing a new burger called the Big Smasher alongside the video game and the lifetime-supply contest.

The contest is open to customers 18 years or older and runs through July 14.
