Office Euros 2024 Sweepstake

To get into the spirit of the Euros, our office organised a sweepstake that turned out to be so popular that Kim had to run two! The excitement was palpable as teams were picked by an online random generator, ensuring a fair and cheat-free selection process.

There was plenty of suspense as everyone gathered on the trading floor to watch the draw. Cheers erupted as names were drawn and colleagues landed their preferred teams. As the draw progressed, suspense grew – especially for Ryan, whose name had yet to be called in either sweepstake. It wasn't until the very last few spins that he was finally drawn, and he ended up with double Slovenia!

Lucky Janice quickly became the office favourite to win, having drawn both Germany and France. Throughout the tournament, Tracey meticulously updated the game sheet, tracking scores and points for all to see.

As the Euros progressed and teams were knocked out, the competition intensified. It all came down to the final match between Spain and England. In the end, Ian and Rino emerged as the sweepstake winners, taking home the cash prizes.

Commiserations to Josh M and Kim S who, like most of the nation, were hoping England would finally bring it home, but who also received cash prizes.

Of course, the real winner was J Marr, as we have offices in both England and Spain. We can claim this as a win, right?

The Euros sweepstake brought an extra layer of fun to our office, making the tournament even more memorable. Congratulations to all the winners and participants! We can’t wait to do it all over again in two years’ time for the World Cup! Who knows, maybe it’ll finally come home…
