Fair fucking play. Title: Re: rugby fan wins quarter of a million Post by: STFC_Gazza on Wednesday, November 18, 2009, 09:47:40 Thought Sky Sports News said he may not get the money as the ball had to be on the ground then kicked to hit the crossbar?

He punted it. He was meant to drop kick it. Bit tight if they don't give the cash though.

Title: Re: rugby fan wins quarter of a million Post by: Samdy Gray on Wednesday, November 18, 2009, 11:13:45 He was given one of those big presentation cheques, that's not an actual payment though.

Title: Re: rugby fan wins quarter of a million Post by: jonny72 on Wednesday, November 18, 2009, 11:33:25 I thought they were for real as well - always wanted to bank one of those mothers even if its only for 50p.

Title: Re: rugby fan wins quarter of a million Post by: Nemo on Wednesday, November 18, 2009, 11:54:19 Apparently Saracens had insured themselves against anyone actually winning. Somehow I doubt the insurance company will pay out, which leaves them with a bit of a PR disaster looming.

Nope, can't cash them. Like Alan said, they don't carry account details and even if they did, they'd never fit in a magnetic cheque reader.
