What a shame he had such bad luck. Often I think people deserve what they get when they refuse a good offer but I was very moved when he said 'I'm doing this for the team'. I really think thet came from the heart. And a 3k offer at 2 box with 20k left!!! That must be one of the poorest offers ever at that stage. Finally 10/10 for Simmo and his wife because ,despite their tears they were very dignified. What a nice bloke
I was suprised that he declined 16,000, it's a lot of money and considering which way some games have gone.....does anyone know why he wanted the money as i missed a bit. He was a really nice guy though and i felt really sorry for him.
I thought he would deal aswell. I wish he had won £20,000. If the minimum win was like £750, atleast it would be a small consellation...a nice nice out, but 10p?? Only good for a freddo or a tip top. ....he was really brave to decline £3,000 and also, I BET if he dealt at the £16,000...and just say where he was offered £10,000....the banker would lie and say 'he would have offered £17-20k ...anyone else agree?

I thought the offer would of been about 12k and my hubby said 9k,then i changed my mind and said 10k.

The reason the offer was so low was because there was only 10p in the other box. If the other box had been £1000 or £3000, it probably would've been at least double that amount.
Simmo was a lovely man and I am sorry he ended up with 10p but after all it is a game of chance. How many people weep when their Lotto numbers don't come up and they have forked out a pound or two for their tickets?
i thought he might have got offered the £7,600 what kirsty and that got offered £3000 was well stingy i had my fingers crossed for him i thought it was going to be the big one but what can you do it is all about chance like you say anne and it just was,nt ment to be but i am sure he is happy enough in general he seemed a lovely bloke

I suppose he was weeping with frustration - he had 16k offered to him for the taking just a short time earlier.
Poor Simmo his a nice man. His gone up to my hubby & shook his hand. I chatted to his brother. He looks just like Simmo, but has dark hair. The game made me cry a bit at the end. I so wanted him to win somethink big. I think its about time we have a big win game. come on big ron do it!
Yes I felt very sorry for Simmo, He seemed such a nice genuine person. I think it was nerves & frustration that got to him in the end. Good Luck Simmo. I hope you get a big win on the lottery I'm also hoping that Big Ron can give that banker a good spanking I don't think he'll stand for any nonsense. Good Luck Ron
I just wanted to post a small thank you for all your kind words. The whole experience was awesome and it is something I will remember for a very long time :-) Take Care Simmo x

Big Ron = Big Money, I hope so. 
I'm also hoping that Big Ron can give that banker a good spanking 
Thanks for that Simmo and GOOD LUCK to you and your wife for the future.
