Man wins £5k after finding straw in his pitcher of Vodka cocktail at Wetherspoons | The Sun
A MAN is £5,000 richer after he found after finding a special straw in his drink at a Wetherspoons pub.
Nicholas Jainath was boozing with pals at the V-Shed in Bristol when he discovered a golden straw in his pitcher – but initially thought nothing of it.
He is then approached as he's drinking at the bar where he is told: "You just won five thousand pound cash my guy".
The sought-after straw is one of a handful which could see Wetherspoons revellers bag an incredible cash prize until September 30.
Popular boozer Wetherspoons recently teamed up with premium spirit maker Au Vodka to give a lucky few punters the opportunity to win big in the nationwide jackpot, Bristol Live reported.
Explaining what customers need to look out for, DJ and co-owner Charlie Sloth told viewers: "For your chance to win £5,000 this summer, just go to Wetherspoons and buy an Au Vodka Candy Rosá.

The offer excludes Wetherspoon pubs in airports, Beaconsfield, London's Leicester Square, Windsor and the Republic of Ireland.
This comes after one Weatherspoons super-fan broke the record for visiting the most Wetherspoon pubs earlier this month, having a pint in 1,048 – 222 more than currently exist.
David Newbury, 54, had been hopping around the boozers for almost half his life, having visited his first in 1999.
David, of Exeter, told The Sun: “I suppose it is obsessive behaviour but no more than people who visit every football ground in the country.
“When I was with my late-missus Lesley we took it very seriously. She’d be happy to see me carry on.”
