Zack Farber Promises 5 Below Golden Ticket Dumpling Hunt
RMS USA will launch a new Golden Ticket Dumpling series at 5 below on Saturday, May 16, and the chase centers on one dumpling that carries a $1,000 Five Below in-store shopping spree. For shoppers, the draw is simple: the series is limited, the prize is singular, and the release is exclusive to the chain.
Zack Farber, CEO at RMS USA, said in a statement, “The community has turned every Mystery Dumpling drop into an event, and we wanted to give them the biggest hunt yet.” He also said, “The Golden Ticket Dumpling takes everything fans already love, from the suspense and rare chase to the viral reveal, and adds a once-in-a-lifetime prize moment.”
One Golden Ticket, One Winner
One Golden Ticket Dumpling is hiding in the entire series, making the prize math unusually tight for a retail promotion built around a collectible craze. RMS USA said the winner gets a golden ticket worth a $1,000 Five Below in-store shopping spree, while the person who finds the winning Golden Ticket with the Golden Ticket Squishy Dumpling also receives the grand prize.
One dumpling per customer, per day is the purchase limit while supplies last, so the first challenge is simply getting a pack into hand before inventory thins out. RMS USA said the new series also includes super-rare silver dumplings and additional classic fan-favorite dumpling surprises, which keeps the hunt from being only about the top prize.
Five Below Hunt Rules
Shoppers can enter the shopping spree sweepstakes without making a purchase by mailing a handwritten postcard with the participant’s information specified in the official rules. That alternative entry path matters because the prize can still be won after the Golden Ticket Dumpling is found, through a random drawing for entrants who used the mail-in method.
The sweepstakes ends on July 31, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. ET, setting a fixed end point for anyone trying to get in before the drawing closes. Since 2025, RMS USA’s squishy bun mystery dumplings have become a viral craze, and TikTok videos have shown people unboxing the mystery bamboo-style steamer baskets, turning each drop into a limited retail event rather than a routine toy launch.

Saturday’s release extends that momentum into a tighter, prize-driven format. Fans chasing the collectible still have the same core tradeoff: limited supply, one item per customer, and a single Golden Ticket Dumpling that stands apart from the rest of the series.
