College graduates with debt are about to have it “their way,” courtesy of Burger King. Burger King has just released an announcement via their Twitter page that they want to help their customers pay off their student loans.
for real tho, we’re trying to pay off those loans. introducing Whopper Loans – make a purchase through the BK app for a chance to have your student loans paid off.

The contest requires customers to download the Burger King app, make a purchase and enter their monthly student loan amount.
The ultimate grand prize is $100,000 and customers can be awarded multiple prizes.
However, some customers opposed the idea:
you know how people can pay off their loans? a living wage at your stores

What do you think of this idea? Would you participate in the contest?
