Punter Lands Biggest Ever Jackpot

19 April 2004

UK – As reported by the BBC: ``A punter is believed to have scooped the biggest individual win in betting shop history, from a £4 stake - and could still double his winnings.

``The 51-year-old, who wishes to remain anonymous, picked six winners of Saturday's races to land £878,939.

``He made the bet, called the Tote Scoop Six, at a betting shop in Bournemouth.

``If he picks the winner of a race at Sandown Park next Saturday, he will secure a £983,495 bonus and become a millionaire.

``…Coral spokesman Simon Clare said: "Never in betting shop history has one punter won so much for such a small stake."
