Woolworths has apologised to thousands of customers after mistakenly telling about 79,000 people they had won a competition.

Woolworths has apologised to thousands of customers after mistakenly telling about 79,000 people they had won a competition.

The email for the Big Night In prize was meant to be sent to about 1000 winning customers.

Instead, 79,000 extra so-called winners were sent the same email - awarding them 4000 points towards the supermarket’s Everyday Rewards card system, which would equal $30 worth of groceries.

      Although you do make a compelling argument, I found a source that supports that they were originally registered under the name Wallworths. To be fair, it looks like they changed the name to Woolworths before their first store opened, so the general public would never have known them as Wallworths.
