Pepsi Number Fever
- ... that the Pepsi Number Fever draw on May 25, 1992 was supposed to have a single 1 million peso winner, but more than 486,170 people found a winning bottle cap? Source 1: Some 486,170 holders of the non-winning 349 crowns availed of this offer, costing PCPPI an aggregate amount of P240 million. Source 2: On May 25 last year, the nightly news announced that anyone holding a bottle cap marked 349 had won up to 1 million pesos, about $40,000, tax-free. ... Instead of a single 1-million-peso winner, up to 800,000 bottle caps marked 349 had been printed.

I'm not usually a reviewer, but I'm not sure whether or not this meets the expansion criteria. Most of the changes on 13 June were citations and the addition of an infobox. Other than that potential issue, I don't see any problems.

- This is nominated as a New article, not expansion, because the article was created from scratch on June 12. Jpatokal (talk) 03:59, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
My bad, I took seven days off the current date instead of the nomination date, so I only looked at edits after June 12. I should have been more careful when reading the nomination. There are no problems in that case and it's a very thorough article.
