Punters who regularly do accumulators often curse some last-minute bad luck for costing them cash but it was the other way around for our newly wealthy friend, with 87th minute goals in two of the 17 matches and a last-gasp strike from AC Milan’s Carlos Bacca helping him on his way.
Féilim Mac An Iomaire, a spokesperson for Paddy Power, said of the bet: “It’s not every day that you land a 25,000/1 shot but he’ll have felt as though he’s earned it after having to endure several nail-biting finishes.
17 legs across over half a dozen countries is outrageously ambitious and we’re only too happy to congratulate him on his winnings.”
Some folks have all the luck.
