Favors inspired by Wonka's 'Golden Ticket'

Today in the city of Boston, Massachusetts, sports fans lined up in droves for a chance to find a golden ticket hidden inside a chocolate bar.

If found, the golden ticket will provide a private tour of TD Banknorth Garden as well as tickets to various games and events in the venue.
The giveaway was inspired by the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and can also serve as an innovative way to give out favors at the end of your favor.

While it may be difficult to place a golden ticket inside a candy bar wrapper, consider giving out small bags of jellybeans. Announce that there is a special prize for anyone who finds a blue jellybean in their bag (doesn't have to be blue, but do make sure there's only a set number of them involved in the giveaway).

Once they are found, line up the winners and present their prizes for all the guests to see.

This kind of party favor giveaway works best in a large group. You don't want there to be more people with winning jellybean bags as opposed to those without.
