£100,000 Win on Scratch Card

[chollerz91]

I was casually standing around the reception area of the school I work in talking to a colleague, when in stumbles a pale faced sixth form student. Clearly in shock, they was confronted by a teacher almost straight away that they owe work to and they just stood there shocked and confused.

He just muttered the words "I've won". He then revealed a winning scratch card with a prize of £100,000!

The teachers response, then changed to a much more comforting "oh, well done, don't worry about that homework "

He was then told it was best that he went home to secure his winnings, in case rival students challenged him for it lol!

Its all swings and rounder bouts for me though whenever I gamble on those things lol.

inb4 one of those joke scratchcards where everyone's a winner.

If true, fair play to him

The only place you'll be seeing them for the next few weeks is in the pub then!

 

[LiE]

He's going to have a blast at Uni

 

[King Damager]

Bet he spends it in a week

[Crizzy]

Should give him a good start in life that's for sure!

I instantly imagined the Family Guy golden ticket moment where Peter runs all the way home, trips, and hurts himself.

Hopefully he's actually legally old enough to gamble? (so he can claim it).

 

[Frozennova]

Lucky bleeder, no doubt he'll do it properly and spend it on drugs, booze and hookers

 

[DJMK4]

Nice! Deposit and pay off a nice lump on a house and a few hookers to decorate said new house.

 

[Craig1981]

Nice one!

I honestly dunno what I would do with 100k. The temptation to blow it all on short term pleasures would be hard to resist.

 

[Marky]

Wow lucky little so-and-so

If I won it'd instantly get me a mortgage

Yer he is in the sixth form so at least 16. I think he is in the second year so most likely older. If it is a joke scratch card then he is a fantastic actor, but i looked at it, it looked really genuine and he had the most genuine reaction too.

 

[Nitefly]

Awesome

Honestly bet he blows it all. Hope he doesn't.

For me it would be probably 15k on a car, 35k on going into th eloft and the rest on paying off a chunk of the mortgage.

I'd buy a house outright if I won 100k, probably buy a 90k 2 bed and spend 10k on a decent fast used car.

House renovation project

Turn that 100k into 140k

Buy another house renovation project......in a few years you'll have enough to buy a nice 4 bed detached out right. No mortgage, what a great start in life that would be. To be mortgage free in a nice house at that age.

Just think, most of your take home pay would be yours to spend as you see fit

If I won that sort of money now, I'd put £30k aside for a house deposit and then use the rest as a fund for luxuries and necessities. It's not the kind of money that will alter your entire life, but it is the amount to make your life much much easier.

I had a similar conversation with my dad abut how much is a "life changing" amount.

For me at 27 with £180k of outstanding mortgage winning £200k would be life changing imo. I'd have a nice house bought and paid for and just utility bills and food to buy. I'd need to work like 5 days a month.

I suppose it all depends on how we each define life changing.
