Summary
£10,000 landed back in Jacob Allmendinger’s account after Metawin honored a social-media pledge tied to England’s 2-1 World Cup victory over DR Congo.
The 21-year-old had spent five years saving that money for a house deposit before using it to take his 80-year-old grandfather, Geoff Golliker, to follow England in New York, Atlanta and Mexico City.
Metawin’s offer came after Allmendinger’s trip drew online attention; an earlier promise to repay him if England beat Panama by more than two goals was not triggered.
Allmendinger said he was shocked when the money arrived and now plans to keep it in savings while weighing options including a home purchase or another tournament trip.
