KFC launches Golden Bucket Hunt to celebrate its 1,000th restaurant

You've heard of Charlie Bucket and his hunt for the Golden Ticket - now it's time for a Golden Bucket Hunt.

Fast food chain KFC is launching the contest to celebrate the opening of its 1,000th restaurant in the UK and Ireland and the prizes include a trip to Kentucky, home of Colonel Sanders himself.

The Golden Bucket Hunt features a limited-edition Golden Bucket. Only five of these buckets are up for grabs across the UK and Ireland.

Within them, fans will find five special KFC cards which unlock access to the following prizes:

  • 1,000 visits to any KFC restaurant – that’s KFC 1,000 times over
  • £1,000 KFC voucher to spend at any KFC restaurant on whatever you like
  • Sky high prize to Kentucky to visit the home of the man himself, Colonel Sanders

To be a lucky winner, all you need to do is head into one of five chosen KFC restaurants and use the codeword “1k Win” at the counter.

The catch? You’ve got to be the first.

It's a hunt, so there’s every chance it might be the wrong restaurant - but if it’s the right one and you’re the first person to say the codeword, you’ll instantly win one of the five prizes and a free Bargain Bucket.

To get to hunters started, KFC has revealed that the buckets are hiding around South Lanarkshire, Dublin, Central London, Manchester and Pontyclun in Wales.

Keep an eye on KFC’s Twitter for some more clues.
