Stoke-on-Trent could be the secret location of a £10,000 prize box during this year's Black Friday sales.

Online retailer Box is planning to hide a haul of technology goodies somewhere in the country on November 23 when the first person to find it wins the lot.

  • SO – Southampton
  • SP – Salisbury
  • SR – Sunderland

The prizes include an LG OLED55C8PLA 55in OLED TV, a Dremel 3D45 3D printer, a state-of-the-art Cube Gaming PC and a Samsung Galaxy S9 64GB EU Dual SIM Free Smartphone.

Box managing director Mark Jordan said: "I’m sure this news will be hugely exciting for everyone with a postcode starting with S. It won’t be long now until the precise location is known – and then the race is on to get the hands on the prize.
