How to have a transparent number on top of a winform?

So I have a winform that has some winforms controls on it. But in the center of it, I want to show a transparent number on top of everything. Say 60 pixels size.

I tried a label and even tried to create a custom control but the transparency didn't work.

Any ideas how to do this?

This number will change programmatically at runtime several times.

I haven't tried it, but this article may help from: Code Project.
