Sporting Life report that a local - to me - thirsk punter won a £1million for just 50p! if only i had put my 7 winners on Thursday into amulti bet like that!
William Hill punter was believed to have become Britain's first betting-shop millionaire on Friday night after an eight-horse accumulator landed odds of more than £2,000,000-1.
His 50p stake won him a cool £1million - which is Hills' limit on horseracing.
Hills say the customer is a regular in a Thirsk-based branch and places these type of bets almost daily - although he has never previously come close to winning on a major scale.
"Even a scriptwriter couldn't have dreamt this one up," said spokesman David Hood.
"His first winner was called Isn't That Lucky in the 2.55pm at Sandown on Friday afternoon and his last winner was A Dream Come True in the 9.20pm at Wolverhampton.
"It is a staggering bet and earns him a place in history as the world's first betting-shop millionaire."
The customer's winning selections:
:: Isn't That Lucky - 2.55pm Sandown (8-1)
:: Mutamarres - 3.05pm Nad Al Sheba (7-2)
:: Mutasallil - 3.40pm Nad Al Sheba (11-2)
:: Racer Forever - 4.15pm Nad Al Sheba (4-1)
:: Ede's 4.50pm - Warwick (10-1)
:: Rio L'Oren - 7.50pm Wolverhampton (15-2)
:: Guadaloup - 8.20pm Wolverhampton (11-2)
:: A Dream Come True - 9.20pm Wolverhampton (5-2)
