A STUDENT cliams they accidentally gobbled a Cadbury's Creme Egg worth £10,000.

The devastated 21-year-old said they were "at their lowest point in life" following the expensive mistake.

In January, Cadbury's announced it had hidden 146limited edition chocolates across the country, and shoppers could win up to £10,000 if they find one.

The special egg is made of half white chocolate and half milk chocolate – and it's full of the classic sugary filling.

In an anonymous Reddit post the unnamed egg-gobbler wrote: "I am an international student studying in the UK, and so I don’t really keep up with the ads here.

"A few months ago, Cadbury released 146 prize-winning eggs across the country with the chance of winning a range of cash prizes including £10,000 (which is half my university tuition).

"Long story short, I was scrolling through Instagram today and saw the prize-winning egg that looked identical to the one I ate a couple of hours ago.

"I don’t actually know what else to say other than utter defeat. I think I have officially hit the lowest point in the short 21 years of my life."

Winners who snag the rare treats are urged not to take a bite, and instead need to call a number on a ticket under the foil.

Last year, Cadbury's gave away golden Creme Eggs and winners bagged £5,000 when they found one.

A lucky mum won £5,000 just before Christmas when she found a hidden golden ticket in an Aldi chocolate bar.
