Scunthorpe punter lands £200,000 Sunday windfall

A Coral shop punter from Scunthorpe is celebrating today, after he won more than £200,000 with three big-priced winners on Sunday's horseracing.

The man, who wishes to remain anonymous placed a £2 win Lucky 15, and a £2 each-way Lucky 15 on four horses at Uttoxeter and Pontefract, and when three of the four selections came home in front, the man scooped a total return of £208,480.80 for his £90 stake.

The winning bet started with Hello Garda winning the 2.12 at Uttoxeter, at an early price of 80-1, then Hold Your Fort scored in the 3.42 there at odds of 20-1.  Although Pike Road could finish only seventh in the 4.12 at Uttoxeter, the aptly named Go Victor won the 5.00 at Pontefract at odds of 28-1, to ensure the bumper payout (betting slip below).

Coral's David Stevens said:

A low-key Sunday of racing turned into a life-changing day for this regular shop customer, and we can only congratulate him for finding winners at 80-1, 20-1 and 28-1.

He continued:

Pike Road was actually the shortest priced of his four selections, but even though the 11-1 shot could finish only seventh - denying the customer a million-pound payout - the return thanks to the other three was a massive £208,000, with the aptly named Go Victor rounding off an extraordinary afternoon for this punter.
