Dawn Sagar of Shropshire, England really thought nothing of the unique-looking potato chip she pulled out of her bag of Walkers, a British snack food company known for its potato chips, or “crisps” over in the UK.
Sagar took a picture of the chip, which was perfectly heart-shaped, and sent it to her friends. She then proceeded to eat it, as any of us probably would’ve.
Unfortunately, Sagar was unaware that Walkers had been holding a contest: a “Heart Shaped Crisp Hunt,” with a prize awarded to the "best heart shaped crisp in their Walkers packet of crisps."
Sagar had that heart-shaped crisp. She would’ve WON had she not eaten it. The grand prize?
£100,000, equivalent to $120,183.50!
Unfortunately, as Sagar has consumed the crisp she is not eligible to win the prize. She told FOX television stations, “My initial reaction was that it wasn't anything to worry about really, as I'd eaten the crisp and that was that.”
There’s still hope though for Sagar and for anyone else still searching for that special chip: A Walkers representative told the BBC that the competition is still going on so "all is not lost."
