A general view of signage of a Starbucks Coffee shop in Camden Town on November 28, 2015 in London, England.John Keeble  by [Megan McCluskey](https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/)  ## Megan McCluskey Staff Writer Dec 9, 2015 10:25 PM UTC Whether you were a fan of this year’s controversial [Starbucks Red Cups](http://time.com/4116104/holiday-product-controvery-starbucks-target-nordstrom/) or not, you now have a chance to participate in the second annual “[Starbucks For Life](https://www.starbucksforlife.com/#login)” sweepstakes. Starting Dec. 8 and continuing through Jan. 11, [My Rewards Members](https://www.starbucks.com/card/rewards) can play to win “free Starbucks for life,” meaning one free drink and food item each day for 30 years. Eligible customers will earn one game play each time they make a purchase from a participating store. Unlike last year, when [14 people](https://news.starbucks.com/news/starbucks-for-life) were granted the ultimate coffee perk, only five participants in the U.S. will take home the grand prize during this holiday season’s contest. However, competing in the sweepstakes will also make you eligible to win Starbucks for a year, Starbucks for a month and Starbucks for a week. So get out there and start chugging coffee. ### Go Inside Starbucks' Wild New 'Willy Wonka Factory of Coffee'  On Dec. 5, founder Howard Schultz debuted part of his new strategy for Starbucks: his first flagship “Roastery,” a 15,000 square foot space that is both a coffee roasting facility, and a consumer retail outlet. The place is to coffee what FAO Schwartz is to toys or Dover Street Market is to fashion—retail theatre.
