The Bet of 8 Pence Brought 30,000 Pounds: How One Player Won the Jackpot.
According to The Sun: The bookmakers were astonished when one of the players won an incredible amount of money after only betting 8 pence on Lucky 63. His win amounted to 30,000 pounds, even though one of his selections did not come through.
William Hill is counting the losses after a big multiplier helped the player to secure this huge sum.
PAThis impressive bet consisted of six selections and a total stake of £10.08. The player won five times at Redcar, Yarmouth, and Wolverhampton, including bets of 20-1 and 18-1.
The only losing bet was Spectre One at Uttoxeter, which did not meet expectations at odds of 12-1.
The first winner on the list was Just Typical with odds of 18-1 in Redcar, followed by Mademoiselle in Yarmouth.
Three consecutive wins at Wolverhampton secured Ghisa, Ten Carat Harry, and Advertorial with odds of 20-1, 11-1 (with 25p Rule 4), and 11-2 respectively.
The bet also benefited from a 10% bonus for five wins.
William Hill spokesperson Lee Phelps noted: “We have already suffered some big losses on bets and seem to have lost again in this battle against the players. One customer received nearly £30,000 from five winning selections in Lucky 63 for 8 pence, which is simply fantastic. It’s not every day you can turn a relatively small stake into a five-figure sum, so we simply have to tip our hat to this player.”
