Love St. Patrick’s Day and green? Money green, that is. Well, you could win $1,000 just for watching Irish-themed movies for the holiday.
You don’t have to be lucky to participate, just have an open schedule. According to Thrillist, a company called Zippia announced that it will pay anyone to watch 10 Irish movies on St. Patty’s Day. On Zippia‘s application page, the challenge is called “St. Paddy’s Day Film Critic.” “This is a roll up your sleeves and get immersed into the Irish culture like never before experience,” the page stated.
Each participant will be given links to 10 movies: My Left Foot, The Crying Game, Far and Away, Circle of Friends, Hunger, The Departed, Leprechaun, Waking Ned Devine, Angela’s Ashes, The Wind That Shakes and The Barley. But before you get your pot of gold, you’ll have to write a 1,000-word summary of what you learned about the Irish culture from each film.
In addition, you’ll also get a corned beef and cabbage meal fit for four, a family-sized box of Lucky Charms cereal, a McDonald’s gift card that gives participants four large Shamrock Shakes and a U2 album of your choice, according to Thrillist
“According to our career data, the annual salary for a movie critic is about $79,000 a year. This job is for one day and pays three times the average movie critic salary,” Zippia wrote on the application page.
Applications will be open until March 15th at 5 p.m. PST.
