Girl Scout Scavenger Hunt: Buy a Box of Cookies to Win Samoa

Golden tickets granting a delectable prize are secreted in 15 Girl Scout cookie boxes across the Los Angeles area Saturday -- as if cookie lovers needed another reason to buy them.

The Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles is leaving clues on its Twitter page Saturday hinting at which locations are selling gilded boxes of Samoas, in which 15 golden tickets are hidden, according to the organization.

Winners get a month's supply of girl scout cookies, and one of those winners gets a year's worth of cookies. Several winners were already announced by 2 p.m.

The golden ticket drive was being held on National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend, on the 40th anniversary of the Samoa, a caramel-coated crisp, according to a press release.

More than 2 million cookies are baked each year.
