Stewart quizzes with the B-SHARPS at the Brass Monkey on Drummond Street on Wednesday nights.
Back in April he backed BB King to die during the month of MAy in my Dead Pool contest.
BB King duly fulfilled his part of the bargain on May 14th when he popped off due to “a series of small strokes caused by diabetes” (although his daughters suspect foul play). Anyway, no matter the cause, the death was confirmed and Stewart faced a wait to see if anyone more famous would die last month who was in the Dead Pool.
They didn’t and so last night Stewart finally collected his winnings, a pair of scratchcards worth up to £2 million. Here he is:
Now, in all the years I’ve given away scratchies at the quiz, the most I’ve seen anyone win in one go was £15. That was about four years ago.
But Stewart’s first card revealed a £100 win. At this point he thought I’d maybe given him a joke card but when the second one was a loser he startedto think it might be true
Of course, it IS true. Check it out:
Stewart, understandably, immediately bought a pair of Sambucas which he shared with me and is now said to be spending time with his family in order to plan how best to use his windfall, going forward.
I wish him well.
