Supermarket shoppers are set for a £500,000 gold rush.

Tesco customers in Southampton have a chance to win a share of £500,000 for a school or children's group this Saturday (September 21).

As part of the supermarket's Stronger Starts campaign, customers at the Butts Road Express store can take a lucky dip between 12pm and 1pm to find a gold version of Tesco's blue voting token.

Those who find a gold token can choose which of the three selected schools or children's groups will receive a £5,000 Golden Grant.

Claire De Silva, Tesco head of communities, said: "Schools and local projects are vital in supporting our children and our communities.

"We’re giving customers the chance to make a difference to a school or group that’s doing amazing work on their doorstep."

Golden Grants are awarded twice a year as part of Tesco Stronger Starts, an £8million grant programme in partnership with Groundwork UK.
