Wetherspoons is hiding ‘golden straws’ worth £5,000 in random drinks

If you fancy winning £5,000 for simply having a drink down at ‘Spoons, then you’re in luck.

That’s right, some fortunate punters will bag themselves a big prize if they are served a certain straw at Wetherspoons.

Au Vodka is the company giving away the cash, as they are putting out a number of prizes for people heading to the pub this summer.

Au Vodka will select random pitchers at three different Wetherspoons locations, on three different dates and at three different times – so you’ve got to be in the right place at the right time.

If you are in the right place and manage to find yourself with a pitcher with the coveted Au Vodka golden-coloured straw, you’ll be five grand up.

DJ and part owner Charlie Sloth said in a video on the Au Vodka Instagram page: “For your chance to win £5,000 this summer just go to a Wetherspoons pub and buy Au Vodka Candy Rosa.

“If you find the golden straw you win £5,000 and me personally delivering it to you.”

A caption on the video reads: “Three purchase dates/times/pubs will be selected randomly. The lucky winners buying the Au Vodka Candy Rosá pitcher who are served with the unique Au Vodka golden-coloured straw at the winning time and location will win a £5,000 prize – Good Luck!”

The giveaway excludes sites in airports, Beaconsfield, Leicester Square (London), Windsor and the Republic of Ireland.

If you want to get involved, the closing date for the giveaway is September 30th 2023.
