In the Pepsi 'Play for a Billion' sweepstake, one finalist will be guaranteed to win at least $1m on national television and will also have the chance to walk away with as much as $1bn (£557m).

The show is scheduled to air on Sunday September 12 on ABC and will be fronted by Damon Wayans, star of US comedy series 'My Wife & Kids'.

To enter, consumers have to check specially marked Pepsi cans for the sweepstake entry code, then enter it on the website billionsweeps.com.
