The brooadcaster of the show Channel 4 said that 47 tickets have been found so far, and that 18 of these have been claimed, leaving 53 waiting to be discovered in the competition, which ends today at 10.20pm.
Susan Carter, who works for a Dublin radio station, contacted the claims line and said that she had bought over 10,000 Kit Kat bars before finding the ticket.
The hunt for the golden ticket also spread to the internet, with 20 tickets currently on sale on eBay averaging £900 a piece and two winners -- Philip Colaco and Deborah Dakers -- having bought their tickets through the online auction site.
Other winners include Tim Slessor, a film and video editor; Adam Pattison, a home support worker, Lorraine Harlow, a mother of one from Weston-Super-Mare; Vicki Ellis, a barmaid who feels going on Big Brother would be the experience of a lifetime and Mohammed 'Nad' Butt, a self-confessed playboy who works for a celebrity and glamour model photo agency.
The Daily Star, the Daily Star Sunday, the News of the World and the Sunday Mirror have all claimed that they possess 'golden tickets'.
To date, 20 people have claimed that their tickets have been stolen, eaten by pets or were ruined in the washing machine.
The winners of the tickets will be invited to pack their bags and go to the Big Brother studios for a special live broadcast where one of the ticket holders will be chosen at random to enter the house.
Sales of Kit Kats are understood to have increased rapidly since the promotion began on May 18 and Nestle Customer Service has been inundated with calls from customers wanting more details about it and asking where they can buy the 'golden ticket' KitKats.
