Ayupp fact check – This is spam news.  

The post instructs you to share and comment on a promotional video, like the associated Facebook Page, and click a link to register your entry.

However, the post is fraudulent. It is not associated with Walmart and those who participate have no chance of getting the promised coupon. Like the countless other fake giveaways that have preceded it, the post is designed to trick people into spamming their Facebook friends and submitting their personal information on scam survey sites.

Facebook scammers are increasingly using video as a means of reaching even more victims.

Walmart has not associated any such video for any offers as such.
