Mum finds £5,000 in her Aldi chocolate bar

A MUM found a £5,000 golden ticket tucked inside her Aldi chocolate bar just in time for Christmas as the supermarket's Willa Wonka-style contest continues.

The discount grocer launched a competition last month announcing it had hidden 25 tickets inside chocolate bars for shoppers to find.

Five lucky shoppers could win £10,000, and 20 of the vouchers are worth £5,000 - and the tickets are in 800g Aldi's Dairyfine Golden Giveaway Chocolate Bars which cost £4.99.

Sian Walker, 43, from Nantwich, was shocked to find a ticket worth £5,000 while shopping with her son in her local Aldi store.

She told the Mirror that she'll be building a "dream extension" with the cash and that she "couldn't believe" she had found one.

She said: "We were joking around pretending we had won and then when we opened it up it was such a surprise to see the golden ticket inside."

Sian isn't the only lucky Aldi shopper to have bagged a golden ticket.

Stephen Dowling, 67, got £5,000 after receiving one of the winning chocolate bars as a gift for his birthday.

There are reportedly 22 more tickets still on the shelves across the country.

If you fancy buying a bar to be in with a shot of winning, you can , but remember they won't be for sale in Aldi Local branches.
