One lucky fan got his hands on £79,568.57 after betting on a huge accumulator comprising a series of matches from the Championship, Champions League and Europa League.
The William Hill customer placed a £2 bet and correctly picked the winner for 13 different clashes on Wednesday, resulting in a bumper pay-out.
The betting company said they were ‘amazed’ by the customer’s winnings and said that he had ‘hit the jackpot’ after a ‘few nervous moments along the way’.
The football supporter placed his bet when the odds were 39,783/1 and returned £79,568.57.
He bet on Atletico Madrid’s 3-2 thriller and Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League clash with RB Leipzig, both matches of which were decided in the late stages.
