Dying man wins £5,000 bet on life

A terminally-ill man has collected £5,000 after placing a bet that he would live past doctors' predictions. Jon Matthews was diagnosed with a rare form of lung cancer in April 2006 and given just nine months to live. But the 58-year-old, from Milton Keynes, made a £100 bet at 50-1 that he would beat the survival odds.
Gotta say, massive props to the man for surviving this type of cancer this long.

Awesome.

I love the fact he gave half to a cancer charity and "The other half I'm going to spend on myself - booze and fags probably - I don't have anything to lose,"
