A woman bagged a seven-night holiday to Ibiza for less than the price of a chocolate bar.
Zoe Clark from Benfleet in Essex has become the seventh holidaymaker this year to successfully 'Bid on a Break' with Jet2holidays.
The scheme allows people to bid whatever they're willing to pay for a specific holiday; but the person who makes the lowest unique bid wins.
After placing her bid of just 24p, Zoe managed to land a seven-night getaway with Jet2holidays for two adults and two children to the four-star Invisa Figueral Resort, Ibiza.
The resort is located on Es Figueral Beach and is well known for its magnificent panoramic bay views, two restaurants with international buffet and themed dinners, and a large swimming pool.

A seven day stay in the hotel is currently available at the end of July for around £500 for a family of four.
She was shocked to discover she'd won (Jet2holidays)Zoe said: “I entered the competition as it's such a great prize - the chance to win a family holiday. We are self-building our own house and it was very unlikely we would get to go abroad this year. I thought this would be a great way to get abroad, but never imagined I would ever win. It will be so amazing to get away to Ibiza, I have always wanted to go there.
"I just can't believe I have won this for 24p, I did actually mean to type £24, but I accidentally pressed enter! I had checked the previous few winners and thought I needed to enter a higher price as I had been entering weekly for less than £10. I am still in shock."
Through the campaign from the UK’s largest tour operator, over 50 holidaymakers have successfully ‘Bid on a Break’ over the last three years.

With a new holiday available to bid on each week, holidaymakers have plenty of opportunity throughout 2023 to do just like Zoe and successfully bid on a break.
Bidding opens at 9.00am every Monday and closes at 12pm on a Thursday.

If they are the only user to bid that amount and that amount is the lowest, they will purchase the holiday for the same price as their bid.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “Congratulations to Zoe for successfully bidding for a holiday with Jet2holidays through our ‘Bid for a Break’ campaign and securing a getaway to Ibiza for just 24p.
"With summer in full swing, we know how much UK holidaymakers want to get away to enjoy some much-needed sunshine, and we are giving them the chance to do just that in a fun way for potentially only a few pence. We hope she has a wonderful time in Ibiza.
