Six people won the 30-hour coffin challenge hosted by Six Flags.

Three of them told INSIDER it was hard, but worth it.

Participants said the most difficult parts were making it to the bathroom and back in just six minutes, and trying to sleep with onlookers crowded around.

They got to keep their coffins at the end, but one contestant sold it to another.

In September, the Six Flags of St. Louis, Missouri, offered people the opportunity of a lifetime: Lie down in one of our coffins for 30 hours, and we'll give you 300 and a season pass.

The offer went viral. More than 45,000 people applied and Six Flags selected six. All of them took on the "30-hour coffin challenge" this past weekend and made it to the end.See the rest of the story at Business InsiderNOW WATCH: 3 compelling reasons why we haven't found aliens yetSee Also:Six Flags paid 6 people 300 to lie in a coffin for 30 hours and all of them made it to the endA college student was reprimanded by gym staff after showing up in a crop top to workoutA wedding photographer shoved a bride's stepmom to capture the newlyweds' first kiss and people are loving it
