It wouldn't be a Baja summer without some epic prizes, and MTN DEW is taking it up a notch this year. BAJA BLAST fans can unlock daily prizes of $1,000 when they enter the Lost Treasures of Baja Island Sweepstakes. But it's the truly legendary grand prize that will have DEW Nation talking: a case of an exclusive, never-before-released flavor, MTN DEW BAJA DEEP DIVE. Only 18,000 cases will be available before MTN DEW BAJA DEEP DIVE ventures back into the deep, so fans should enter to win while they can.

"An unreleased Baja flavor to kick off the summer? I think that's a surprise DEW Nation will be ready for and will want to get their hands on. I hope they'll enjoy BAJA DEEP DIVE as much as we enjoyed creating it."
