Syndicate bag bumper Scoop6 pot

The Press Association: Syndicate bag bumper Scoop6 pot: "One ticket landed this week's totescoop6, paying £1,541,739 - the highest single win dividend in the history of the bet.
The winners were a syndicate from East Sussex who placed £18,900 worth of bets to scoop the pot.
They now go forward for a chance to win a record-breaking £2,469,009 on the bonus race next Saturday, which is almost certain to be the totesport Trophy at Newbury.
There were three tickets left in after the fifth leg, with the eventual winners relying on the unnamed favourite, which turned out to be Can't Buy Time, who romped home in the totesport.com Masters Handicap Chase at Sandown at 4-1.
A total of £1,810,396 was placed on the Scoop6, making it the third highest amount ever bet into the pool.
'Not only have the winners of the Scoop6 landed the biggest dividend in the history of the bet, but they now have a chance to pocket a cool £2.5million on the bonus race next weekend,' said totepool spokesman George Primarolo.
'The next seven days are going to be nerve-wracking for those involved.'"
