One of the Australian cricket team’s sponsors has promised to buy a beer for every adult in the country if the home side beats England in the upcoming Ashes series.
If Australia wins back the Ashes from England over the next two months, free coupons for Victoria Bitter (VB) will be printed in five newspapers at the conclusion of the final test on January 8.
Buying a bottle of VB for some 13 million adult Australians would cost almost AUS$20m at retail prices.
"We're going to buy the biggest round in Australian history," VB's Craig Maclean said at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) this week.
"VB is urging all Aussies to get behind the team as they fight to reclaim Aussie pride and what's rightfully ours – the Ashes."
