    :eek:

    I can't believe what i'm seeing.

    Euromillions draw: 1, 13, 20, 26, 50, Lucky Stars: 6, 7
    Admin's ticket line C: 1, 13, 20, 26, 50, Lucky Stars: 3, 7

    A tidy win Admin, congratulations. Shame that lucky star wasn't a little more lucky - then we could have truely ousted the Bassini takeover, and you'd have had to start paying up on your promises!

    I'm sure he's having a great night as we speak.

    OK, I'm gonna fall for it, because I hope it's true.

    Congrats Admin.

    If someone is on a wind up, then congrats to you. If not - Admin, don't spend any of it on Watford. Secure your family's future and get yourself set up for retirement.

    I can't believe this is true, BUT IF IT IS.......................

    :jumping1::jumping1::jumping1::jumping1::jumping1:​

    However, I'm with Moog on this, if it's true forget about the WFC promises and look after you and your family Admin!!!

    But, if you were to have a little to spare, maybe you could reinvest it in next weeks draw, or do something constructive for the forum and or the club!!!

    Maybe we should have a suggestion thread on what to do with any spare cash you might decide to dedicate to the forum and or the club?

    Maybe you could start some sort of ring fenced forum managed "Transfer Foundation Fund" that others could contribute to if they so wished, either by a monthly DD or just as and when they wanted to? ​

    Seriously? How awesome. Another £140,000 and you could buy the club outright, unless I misunderstood the takeover bid.

    £233,000 is the prize. I hope it isn't a wind up!

    We should do this anyway - bid the club £150,000 for the Red Lion. Use £25,000 to do it up and Admin should keep the rest.

    Turn it into a private members club for members of the forum and invited guests. I would volunteer to run it and it could be managed and held in trust by a selected group on here. It would be run as not for profit club, just making enough to cover costs.

    After 20-25 years the ownership could revert to Admin and he could sell up and benefit his kids if he so desired. So it would actually be an investment whilst being used by those on here.

    In fact I found an old ticket from 31st December in my Watford coat this morning, handed it to the Newsagent and I had won £7.50

    Hope this doesnt get messy as technically the forum won the money. Poor admin, what a dilemma.

    What dilemma? Forum won the money? Who owns the forum - Admin does. This can't and won't get messy.

    agree.

    let him enjoy it, we all wish we were in the same position, thats why we do the lottery.

    Anyway I'm sure that Admin will be the first to Harrys bar at the next game !

    I also agree with you Kris but people go weird when big money is involved.

    I hope it is true, but I don't believe it.

    It must be a joke, as I can't believe that someone would post a big win on the internet. He may want to keep it quiet!

    I would!

    It all depends on how the 'syndicate' was established.

    Admin used forum cash, he set up the board, he owns the board, he runs the board.

    It's his choice to how the money is spent.

    It's great that he came up with the idea in the first place, everyone needs to calm down and let it all sink in.

    Well that is of course once he and the mods finish their cruise around the Caribbean. :sign15:

    I assumed this was a clever joke last night, but if it's not, then congratulations Admin :sign15:. It's yours and well deserved for all your hard work on here. It's not a life-changing amount but a nice cushion to soften the sharp edges of life.

    I've said it on the other thread and I'll say it again here, anyone laying claim to any of this money is mental. It's Admin's money and he can use it in whatever way he wants. Good luck to him too! What a stroke of luck! I'm still gobsmacked today.

    If you've really won Admin, very many congratulations. Do something boring and pay off your mortgage. Do not under any circumstances spend more than a nominal amount (under £100) on prizes, gifts etc to forum users!
