Four Portsmouth FC fans have reportedly celebrated a 1.5 million-pound lottery win by a booze bender for 96 hours.

Tom Fox, son Lewis, along with friends Sid Veness and Mark Bush won the jackpot this weekend worth 3,90,000 pounds each and have reportedly booked a trip to Tenerife to continue their booze- fuelled celebrations.

According to the Daily Star, the fans said that they celebrated their winnings with a lot of alcoholic drinks, although they added that they would not leave their jobs despite the cash windfall.

The four friends are reportedly planning to buy shares, buy gifts and get season tickets to the club's games with the winnings.
