Dad convinced he'd won £100,000 after weird find in crisp multipack

A dad thought a packet of Walkers crisps had bagged him £100,000 after discovering a completely white bag in his multi-pack - only to discover it was a misprint. Graham Kirby was rummaging through his kitchen cupboards while getting ready to leave for work when he unearthed the pale packet in the 20-bag 'meaty' box.

Baffled Graham initially thought he'd struck gold and had pocketed a bag worth up to £100,000, similar to the snack giant's recent heart-shaped crisp promotion, or that he'd discovered a new flavour. But on closer inspection, the carpenter realised it was a bag of roast chicken crisps nestled among the £4.85 box that was somehow not its usual bright orange colour.

Wanting to keep the unusual packet safe from getting crushed in his work van, the 37-year-old, whose favourite flavour is salt and vinegar, opted to leave it at home and took another to munch on. The dad-of-two assumes the packet's pale exterior was caused by a printing error - and that sadly it's not a competition prize.
