The founder of Jelly Belly is launching a Willy Wonka-esque golden ticket treasure hunt before his retirement and the grand prize is a candy factory. The contest costs $50 to enter and each portion has a strict 1,000 person limit. One person will end up with a key to the candy factory but other winners will receive cash prizes upwards of $5,000.
