To her delight the 800g bar contained one of 25 Golden Giveaway tickets.

The clothing boutique owner, who runs Feel Good Fashion in Stanhope Road, said: “I popped in to pick up a treat for my son after he passed his driving test and just happened to see these chocolate bars.

"We didn’t think anything of it, but then next thing we know, we are holding a ticket saying you’ve won on it – we couldn’t believe our luck!”

“We are so pleased to have won this amazing gift, and it has come just in time to help with the new extension for our home!

"Thank you Aldi, we are over the moon!”

Seven tickets remain to be found throughout the country. They are worth £5,000 or £10,000.

Aldi stipulates that only the person who buys the chocolate bar can claim the prize money.
