FOR many chocoholics winning a year's supply of your favourite chocolate would be like hitting the Lotto jackpot - but what do you do with 365 bars of the stuff when you are 16 months old?
That is the dilemma facing little Charlotte Mitchell who has won more than her weight in chocolate.
When mum Suzie let Charlotte indulge her sweet tooth with a Milky Bar she almost ended up throwing away a year's supply of chocolate.
Suzie, 26, from Botley Road, Park Gate, said: "When I was putting the wrapper in the bin I noticed some writing on the inside.
"The wrapper was in ten pieces and after I put it together it said we had won a year's supply of chocolate, or 365 bars.
"There was a number to ring and I thought 'Oh here we go.' But when I phoned it they were waiting. It was like finding the last golden ticket in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory."
When Suzie took Charlotte to the garage shop to buy some sweets she bought Charlotte's favourite Milky Way and a Milky Bar.
After eating the Milky Way, the Milky Bar was put away in the cupboard for a rainy day. But Charlotte remembered it was there and a day later she reminded mum, who agreed to let her have it.
But it was not until Suzie was putting the wrapper in the bin that she noticed Charlotte's good fortune.
Now Suzie thinks her daughter might have designs on becoming the next Milky Bar Kid.
She added: "Luckily they don't send you all the chocolate at once. We've received a six-month supply and then they will send us the rest later because of expiry dates."
Charlotte's winnings:
144 Chunky Milky Bars
77 Aero bars
72 Yorkie bars
72 Cadbury Dream bars
