Saracens changed the life of one lucky fan on Tuesday night as Stuart Tinner won £250,000 at Wembley Stadium.
The Sarries fan from Welwyn in Hertfordshire won the Sarries Crossbar Challenge to kick a ball from 30m and hit the crossbar.
Stuart took to the hallowed Wembley turf at half time to kick in front of nearly 47,000 fans and his kick struck the middle of the crossbar and he walked home £250,000 richer.
He said: "I really can't believe it. It's an amazing feeling and I've just won £250,000 - I'm still in a daze. But it won't change me; I'm still going to work in the morning, but what a night it has been."

If I were him I think I'd spend a bit of it on an executive box for the Wasps match and treat some friends..
