Tesco shopper goes viral when people see what's written on piece of paper he left in his trolley

A nationwide search for a Tesco shopper called Barry has been sparked online. The shopper, who is believed to be called Barry, went viral after a man spotted a 'life changing' piece of paper he'd left inside his trolley.

Richard Haslop says he found a winning lottery ticket inside a shopping trolley on a visit to Tesco. The man now wants to return the pieces of paper to their rightful owner.

According to Cambridgeshire Liv e, Richard Haslop posted on several groups on Facebook in the hopes of finding the lottery winner. Richard said he is keen to return the winnings to Barry Levett.

He did not say how much the prize was, or which store it was found in. The person who comes forward will be asked what the lottery tickets were in to confirm that they have the right person.

Richard took to Facebook and wrote: "Anyone know a Barry Levett? the reason I ask is that my wife found a number of lottery tickets (which also included a winning cheque made out to Barry hence why we know a name) in a Tesco’s trolley and we wish to return to him.

"A description of what the tickets are kept in would be required before anyone tries to claim on his behalf. Thank you."

Last month an ASDA worker explained how he became an overnight millionaire after his fiancee bought a lottery ticket at the supermarket in which he worked. The pair had only nipped in to buy a pint of milk and some bread, but made an impulse decision to buy a lottery ticket.

Karl Ward and his soon-to-be wife Eleanor Land nipped in to the ASDA where Karl worked for some bread and milk when they made a split-second decision which would change their lives forever.

The pair, who are now £1million better off, are now able to pay for their dream wedding - which they have been putting off for fifteen years. Karl and Eleanor had been putting off their wedding due to lack of funds, and made the decision to spend their savings on their family instead.
