A million burgers are going on sale, thanks to a few creative Burger King fans.
Burger King announced it is thanking those who participated in its Million Dollar Whopper Contest by selling one million Whoppers for $1, while supplies last. Beginning Nov. 12, members of its Royal Perks loyalty program can score the deal through the “offers” tab in the BK app.

According to the chain, more than one million Whopper artists submitted their dream burger ideas for the chance to score a million-dollar paycheck.
Which included me and my cheddar cheese, caramelized onions and fried egg creation, which didn’t make the cut, but these three did:

Customers can also scan a QR code located on the wrapper of each of the three finalist burgers, which will ask them to visit the BK app or the Million Dollar Whopper contest page to choose which burger will be crowned the winner.
One thing to keep in mind during BK’s burger bonanza: $1 Whoppers are limited to one per customer.
“We couldn’t think of any better way to recognize and celebrate our biggest Whopper lovers than with a special offer that lets everyone feel like a winner,” said Pat O’Toole, Burger King North America’s CMO in a press release. “We can’t wait to hear how Guests think these three new creations stack up to the classic and look forward to them ultimately crowning the winner of the $1 million grand prize.
