How can you get your hands on a winning Creme Egg? There are believed to be 371 winning Creme Eggs on the shelves across the country. Cadbury have distributed 34 eggs each worth £1,000 in prize money, while according to The Sun one is worth a staggering £2,000. As the white chocolate treats have the same packaging as the classic Cadbury treat it's impossible for shoppers to know if they've won until they've unwrapped them. The eggs could be hidden inside single wrapped eggs, which have an RRP of 58p, or in five packs which cost £2.85. Co-op also has 90 more winning eggs which will let lucky shoppers take home £200. There are 14 eggs worth £1,000 in branches of Sainsbury's and 84 worth £100. There will be one winning egg worth £1,000 a week from the 14 weeks from the start of the year until April 1 when the eggs come off the shelves. Tesco have a total of 7 eggs worth £1,000 and 84 more worth £100. Independent retailers - such as corner shops - have 13 winning eggs on their shelves worth £1,000 and 78 more worth £100. One egg worth £1,000 will be put in an Independent shop somewhere in mainland UK over 13 weeks. There are 500 million Creme Eggs produced a year and about 333 million of those are sold in the UK, meaning shoppers will have about a 1 in 850,000 chance of winning a prize Advertisement

The limited edition goodies were revealed by Cadbury's last week with 350 to 400 white chocolate eggs hidden in normal Creme Egg wrappers.

Lucky buyers could be in with a chance of winning up to £2,000 and, thanks to a sneaky find, can now tell if they've got the special egg by just looking at the ingredients list.

The list, on the back of every Creme Egg, usually includes milk chocolate as an ingredient.

However, the special version replaces the milk chocolate with white chocolate, according to Metro.

This one key change is a tell-tale clue to work out if you're Creme Egg is a special one - and you don't even have to take off the wrapper.

The special promotion, which delighted fans, is reminiscent of Willy Wonka and his five golden tickets hidden in chocolate bars in the Roald Dahl book Charlie and the Chocolate factory.

The news of the trick will be a relief to supermarkets and shoppers all over the country after Creme Eggs everywhere were hit by eager hunters.
