Rooted in fact-based, transparent reporting, Newsy is an award-winning opinion-free network owned by the E.W. Scripps Company that is relentlessly focused on “the why” of every story and seeks to enable a more intimate and immersive understanding of the issues that matter.

The contest, which ends in January 2024, offers players the chance to win $25,000 in athletic scholarships, and says there is no athletic ability required to participate. The Hershey Company, owner of Reese's, says"it’s not really a scholarship. It's just straight-up cash."

Dworsky noticed that consumers would not be made aware that there is no purchase necessary until they buy the peanut butter cups and open the package to read the small print inside of the wrapper. According to U.S. sweepstakes laws, there is a requirement that companies make the consumer aware that there is no purchase necessary to participate.

Dworsky said, “You never have to pay to play. All these packages should be recalled," the AP reported. Dworsky did acknowledge that a Reese's candy display he saw did say that there was no purchase necessary, but said other displays might have violated the law.
