A MUM missed out on £100k payday after discovering a super rare ‘double-heart’ shaped crisp.

Lisa Preston, 41, thought she had bagged the eye-watering sum promised by Walkers to any customer who found a heart-shaped crisp in their packet.

But she has been left feeling “a bit salty” after learning that they binned off the competition last year.

Mum-of-one Lisa found the golden ticket chip over the weekend after picking up a Walkers multi-pack from her local Asda in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire.

The chicken-flavoured crisp is not just shaped like a heart but even features the outline of a second heart inside it.

Make-up artist Lisa told The Sun: “I had entered the competition before so as soon as I saw it I thought that has to be a winner.

“Most of the entrants are just one heart but mine is a heart inside a heart.

“I need a new garden and could do with a holiday so it couldn’t have come at a better time.”

Last year Walkers asked customers to submit pictures of their heart-shaped crisps - with a panel awarding lucky winners £100k.

But the competition closed on April 4 last year.

Lisa joked: “I’ve not got a chip on my shoulder - but I’m definitely feeling a bit salty about it.

“This is miles better than any of the other entrants I’ve seen.”

She has since stored the crisp away in a Tuppaware box in the slim hope that Walkers can bend the rules for her.

Lisa said: “If there’s any justice in the world, Walkers will come back to me and make an exception.”

A Walkers spokesman said: "We're sorry Lisa missed the love this time around, but we hope she's not too heartbroken and she still enjoyed her delicious Walkers crisps.

"It's fantastic to see our #LoveFromWalkers competition still capturing the imagination and spreading the love a whole year on – it clearly made an impression!"
