The student who potentially unknowingly ate a winning Cadbury Creme Egg quickly picked up media attention. The Mirror noted that, while he may have eaten the candy, he could have saved the wrapper and winning ticket. In an even worse turn of luck, he ate the candy when he was out and about — and threw the wrapper away in a public wastebasket. In order to claim the money, you need to send in a picture of you holding the winning egg via email "to prove that you're the rightful owner," per the Mirror. The international student didn't even realize that his Cadbury egg looked different than normal. LADBible reports that he had never eaten a Cadbury egg before and didn't realize the brown-and-white egg looked out of place. He only realized his mistake after stumbling upon an advertisement on social media promoting the giveaway and doublechecked his mistake with his girlfriend.
