Have you seen the new Walkers crisps promotion?
"Is There A "20 NOTE Inside?"

The answer is probably not. Around 11 Million packets of walkers "snacks" are sold every day. While of cause this promotion is not included on every packet sold It would be fair to say that 5 million of these packets are those "promotional packets"

So 7x5=35 say the promotion runs for 2 months so 35x6=280. 280 Million promotional packets of crisps and look at the prize's 3,250 x £20 notes, 187,000 x £5 Notes and 25 Million Free (27p) packets of crisp.

Using the above we can see that less than 9% of the packets contain a Free crisp voucher, Less than 0.1% contain a free £5 note and as for a £20 well anybody done a degree in maths?

So, I would guess that you would have probably more chance of wining a small prize on the Lottery, than actually finding a £20 note in your packet of crisps.

PS If you didn't know the chance of winning the Jackpot on the National Lottery is around 14Million to 1.

I haven't won yet. But then, I haven't bought or eaten crisps for a year or so now, so the odds are stacked against me a little.

I did win a free boottle of budweiser when they had the lid competition going (January was it?), so I'm happy.

That's right, you stand there and gloat.

Be smug, go on.


In a few years time when I'm really rich, we'll see who's smug then, won't we, eh?!?

But it doesn't matter!

It's all profit.

You weren't expecting the 20mil in the first place, so what if you lose it all!? You've still got 6mil left! Like 6 MILLION pounds isn't enough for any one!


Pfah!

I can tell you lot aren't gamblers.

My friend won a £20 note in his. It ALWAYS happens when you are not expecting it. These prizes ARE for real, just with so many being sold, the chances are very small.

What if 5 people win the next supper draw. Then you will only get 5 mil. Or even more people could win? Its a bit risky.
